[Dacron-EXS prosthesis in axillo-femoral bypass]

Abstract

Twenty-eight axillary by-pass were performed in 27 patients using a dacron externally supported prosthesis. This group of patients has been compared with two other groups in which a dacron knitted (20 p.) or a PTFE (55 p.) prosthesis were implanted. A three years patency has been respectively: 66.6% (EXS), 57.7 (PTFE), 45.5 (Knitted Velour).
