N2 - The reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) of adult rats, the comparison of the tissue response to the poly(ester urethane) urea (PU) patch, and a control patch comprised of expanded poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (ePTFE) were investigated. PU based on poly(caprolactone) butyl diisocyanate and putrescine was synthesized by thermally induced phase separation. Frozen tissue was serially cryosectioned and processed with hematoxylin and eosin. It was found that a biodegradable, elastic PU patch was able to reconstruct the RVOT in a rat model, and showed in vivo behavior.
