title: [Bovine heterologous graft in replacement of a small calibre artery].
abstract: An experimental study of a new biologic vascular graft for reconstruction of small diameter arteries was carried out in 50 sheep. Results up to 2 years allow us to conclude that the new vascular prostheses may be "reutilized" by the host. Infections and aneurysmal degeneration were be observed. Early occlusion of the graft due to technical reasons occurred in only one case.
