title: [Preliminary experiences in use of the Sparks prosthesis for femoro-popliteal bypass and arterio-venous shunt in chronic hemodialysis (author's transl)].
abstract: The present paper summarizes our preliminary results using the Sparks-Mandril. The prothesis has been applied both as femoro-popliteal bypass graft and as arteriovenous shunt for hemodialysis in patients suffering from chronic renal failure. Indications, techniques and results of implantation both as femoro-popliteal bypass and as a.-v. shunt are outlined. It is concluded that in both cases the Sparks-Mandril has its well defined field of application.
