title: [Results of using the domestic vascular prosthesis "Ekoflon"].
abstract: The aim of the work was to study long-term results of application of a vascular transplant from modified polytetrafluoroethylene "Ekoflon". The investigation included 121 reconstructions performed during the last 6 year, 53 prostheses being implanted in the aorto-femoral position, 68--in the femoro-popliteal-tibial position. The long-term results have shown that the transplant "Ekoflon" in the position of the aorto-femoral shunt is not inferior to textile analogues and even has a number of advantages. When it is used below the inguinal fold the results of patency were worse than those with the autovenous one. But when there is no adequate autovein, under conditions of critical ischemia, prosthesis "Ekoflon" might be the material of choice for saving the lower extremity. The dynamic ultrasound duplex scanning and histological investigation of the prosthesis samples have shown an original morphogenesis of its "implantation".
