2. Fig. 1
Photograph of retroperitoneum 3 months after implantation. Appearance of retroperitoneum in collagen (A) and control prosthesis (B) was considered normal for all implants. No differences were noted.

3. Fig. 2
Photomicrograph of midportion of graft comparing interstitial cellular infiltrate between collagen (A) and control (B) graft at 3 months. Excellent interstitial cellular infiltrate was seen in all collagen-coated and in this one control prosthesis (original magnification, × 40).

4. Fig. 3
Photomicrograph of midportion of graft comparing interstitial cellular infiltrate at 3 months between collagen (A) and control (B) grafts. Excellent interstitial cellular infiltrate is seen in collagen-coated prosthesis vs. moderate cellular infiltrate in control prosthesis (original magnification, × 40).

5. Fig. 4
Photograph of explant opened longitudinally (6 months). Gross appearance of the neointima was similar in both experimental (A) and control (B) groups.

8. Fig. 7
Macroscopic appearance of inner surface of standard knitted Dacron graft after 30 minutes of blood flow during in vivo thrombogenicity testing. Note definite thrombus formation on inner surface.
