title: [A knit vascular prosthesis of RaK collagen--a clinical evaluation study].
abstract: Vascular collagen prosthesis of RaK type (collagen-impregnated knitted prosthesis) made by Výzkumný ústav pletarský (Research Institute of Hosiery) in Brno was introduced into clinical practice in 1990. In comparison with previous type, the collagen-impregnated prosthesis has had a number of advantages and thus it gets into the interests of vascular surgeons. The report presented has given the results of clinical evaluating study carried out at the IInd Clinic of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno according to the methods of EN 540 European Norm Proposal for clinical studies. The results obtained from evaluating a set of 107 patients created for this study (besides others, long-term patency of 90.7%, or 0.9% incidence of infection of the vascular prosthesis of Szilagyi III type) have shown that nowadays we have at disposal a very good, reliable and economically acceptable vascular prosthesis of our provenience.
