Selection of grafts currently available for repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
The ideal vascular graft has not yet been developed. However, in the aortic position, excellent results can be obtained using a variety of currently available grafts, which offer similar patency rates and durability. Therefore, graft selection depends on other considerations, such as the ease of handling and preclotting requirements.
