For over 100 years researchers in AT&T Bell Laboratories, managers in AT&T, and engineering and operating personnel in Western Electric (now AT&T Technologies) have developed, applied, and improved methods for inspection, quality control, continuous quality improvement, and quality by design. These methods are used throughout the world today. In the past ten years, there has been a rewakening interest in the fundamental concepts of quality control and quality assurance and an intense effort to apply modern statistical methods to continuously improve quality and productivity. AT&T is still providing strong technical leadership in developing these new methods.

The most important causes of graft failure are underlined, as well as the time to failure and relative frequency of each failure mechanism. This brings out the need for a critical review of the properties of basic textile structures used in today's vascular prosthetic grafts. The physiologic and structural factors which contribute to mechanical failure of arteries and artery/implant composite systems are analyzed. The importance of obtaining the complete set of time-dependent elastic constants of the artery--which is viewed as an anisotropic material--is pointed out. Future research areas important for characterizing the mechanical behavior of artery/implant systems are suggested, with the aim of establishing rational standards for prosthesis evaluation.
