title: Disruption of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPTFE) graft of axillofemoral by-pass.
abstract: The rupture of the artificial vascular graft is a rare complication. The disruption of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPTFE) graft has never been reported. The present report describes a patient who suffered the disruption of an EPTFE graft five years after a right axillofemoral by-pass.
