1 Boundary layer infusion of heparin prevents thrombosis and reduces neointimal hyperplasia in venous polytetrafluoroethylene grafts without systemic anticoagulation  Changyi Chen, MD, Stephen R.

2 Fig. 1 ePTFE-based local infusion device. A, Device consists of silicone rubber cuff-reservoir glued in position between two rings of ringed 4 mm ID ePTFE graft (30 μm internodal distance). Hub is attached to 1 mm ID silicone rubber catheter tubing, which is then attached to osmotic pump. B, Soluble agent from osmotic pump will pass through graft wall, enter blood stream in highest concentration at graft wall (boundary layer), and be transported downstream (axially) by blood flow (convection), with slower mixing in radial direction (i.e., toward centerstream blood flow) occurring primarily through diffusive mechanisms. Long arrow indicates direction of blood flow.
