title: [Alloplastic vascular substitution with a novel prosthesis. First clinical experiences (author's transl)].
abstract: 216 reconstructions with Gore-Tex-PTFE prostheses in all vascular regions are reported, particularly in the femoro-popliteal and femoro-crural regions. The best early and early longterm results are in the supra-aortal, aorto-renal and aorto-femal areas. Femoro-popliteal bypasses above the knee joint remain functional in 97 percent at an average followup observation time of 3.8 months. Below the knee, the patency rate is 84 percent at an average followup observation time of 4 months (femoro-popliteal/crural).
