title: Multiple aneurysmal dilatations in a knitted dacron velour graft.
abstract: The formation of multiple aneurysms in the midportion of Dacron grafts has been reported only twice in the surgical literature. In the present case, three aneurysmal dilatations developed 6 years following an orto-femoral Dacron graft implantation. Multiple structural defects in the Dacron prosthesis appear to be the most likely cause of the graft failure.
