  • Title: Comparison of knitted and woven aortoiliac and aortofemoral Dacron prostheses in the same patient: a 10-year prospective study.
    Author: Robicsek F, Lawhorn R, Robicsek S, Norton HJ.

    Abstract:
    This study represents the final and concise evaluation of all data obtained in a ten-year follow-up period and is a continuation of our previously published investigations. A specially manufactured bifurcated aortic graft with one limb woven and the other knitted was implanted in the aortoiliac or aortofemoral position in 158 patients. During an observation period ranging up to 10 years, no statistically significant difference was found either in platelet adherence or in clinical patency. According to the results of this and previous studies, the pore size of Dacron grafts in these positions does not seem to play any significant role either in platelet adherence or in patency rate. A high mortality rate from cardiovascular disease in the same patient population was also noted.
