It is unclear which of the two commonly used materials, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyester (Dacron(R)) grafts, is to be preferred. Thus, the aim of this meta-analysis and systematic ...

A method is described for inserting grafts on carrier rings in the aortic area when conditions for free grafting are not applicable, namely, dilated aortic root and friable aortic wall. In addition ...

In the preoperative planning phase, the proposed approach was excision of the aneurysms and a repair using an inlay straight tube Dacron graft. However, during the left-sided repair, the aneurysm was ...

He was discharged home 4 days after surgery (Figure 3D). A 77-year-old man with a background of an open repair of an infrarenal AAA with a Dacron tube graft 12 years previously was investigated for ...

During your surgery, the diseased portion of your aorta will be replaced with a Dacron® graft. If you have an arch aneurysm, it is possible that you may also require bypass grafts to replace vessels ...

Synthetic vascular grafts made of Dacron (Invista, Wichita, KS) and Gore-Tex (Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ) have performed well in large- and medium-diameter vascular reconstructions. Although ...

In Chapter 1, dacron and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, the two basic graft types that have dominated the field of synthetic vascular prostheses for the past decades, are discussed to ...

Her graft, made of nylon-Teflon-Dacron and shaped like an inverted 7, was attached at the top near the renal arteries. Its shorter branch was joined to the right iliac artery, and a longer branch ...

Here, we report a case of persistent pain and fever of unknown origin, culminating in the diagnosis of aortic epithelioid angiosarcoma at the site of a previous Dacron aortic graft. Soft-tissue ...

Operation consisted of ligation of the fistula and anastomosis of the right ventricular portion of the coronary artery to the aorta with a Dacron tube graft. This latter maneuver established a dual ...
