Graft type for femoro-popliteal bypass surgery

Dacron or PTFE for Above-knee Femoropopliteal Bypass. A Multicenter Randomised Study

“…Though a formal meta-analysis was not performed, the general impression from the existing trials is clear: Dacron is not inferior to PTFE, when used for femoropopliteal revascularisation. 12 Our study, being the largest randomised trial on the subject until now, indicated that Dacron grafts performed better. It may therefore be questioned whether PTFE should continue to be the favoured prosthetic graft material for above-knee reconstructions.…”

Dacron® vs. PTFE as bypass materials in peripheral vascular surgery – systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Our study complements a systematic Cochrane review on femoro-popliteal bypass surgery by Mamode and Scott comparing saphenous vein graft with PTFE or Dacron ® , human umbilical vein with PTFE, and PTFE vs. Dacron ® [ 21 ]. However, only one study comparing PTFE with Dacron ® in above-knee popliteal grafting was identified [ 22 ].…”

Systematic review of preservation methods and clinical outcome of infrainguinal vascular allografts

“…If a patient with limb ischemia needs a bypass to the popliteal artery, the most suitable type of graft to use is still open to debate. In the Cochrane Review, Mamode and Scott 35 were unable to demonstrate any clear evidence in support of the use of a particular type of graft at this level. Yet a recent randomized trial clearly favored autologous saphenous vein over PTFE grafts.…”
