title: Bovine graft and polytetrafluorethylene prosthesis as an access to circulation for haemodyalisis.
abstract: In this article results are compared of the bovine graft and the Goretex graft as a shunt from an artery to a vein in view of the access to the circulation for haemodialysis. Drawing conclusions would seem premature as yet, but there seems to be some indication that the Goretex graft stays open more easily. In our opinion the Goretex graft is easier to handle during the operation. We want to point out once again that, in all probability, our ample experience with the Goretex graft plays a role in the evaluation of the outcome.
