title: [Gore-Tex prostheses in arterial reconstructive procedures (author's transl)].
abstract: The early and long-term results using the polytetrafluorethylene (Gore-Tex) are reported. In 20 patients, 12 ilio-femoral bypasses, 10 femoro-popliteal and 2 aorto-subclavian bypasses have been performed; 5 of these patients underwent simultaneously femoro-popliteal bypasses with Gore-Tex and ilio-femoral bypasses with Dacron. Only once the Gore-Tex was used as patch. The results have been satisfactory. However, longer follow-up and many more patients are needed to determine if the Gore-Tex will be the substitute for the autogenous saphenous vein in peripheral vascular reconstruction.
