title: The effect of anti-thrombotic drugs on prosthetic grafts in the canine inferios vena cava.
abstract: The effect of phenylbutazone, an anti-thrombotic agent, on the occlusion rate of knitted Dacron grafts placed in the infrarenal inferior vena cava of dogs was studied. Grafts places in dogs treated with phenylbutazone remained patent significantly longer than those in untreated animals. All the grafts in the untreated group occluded, but 2 remained patent in the treated animals.
