title: A simple guideline to facilitate axial alignment of vascular grafts.
abstract: The proper orientation of vascular prostheses is essential for successful performance of vascular reconstructions. To prevent axial rotation of grafts, particularly in long tunnels such as in the axillo-femoral or subsartorial position, vascular prostheses with a simple guideline incorporated within their fibers were employed. The advantages of these grafts are discussed.
