“…Polyester patches are used clinically, especially in carotid artery reconstruction, despite some studies reporting increased stenosis in polyester patches compared to vein patches . However, while the application of polyester in the arterial system is very common, polyester is infrequently used in the venous system, primarily attributed to the lower blood flow and higher chance of thrombosis . In the venous system, since there is also a high incidence of anastomotic neointimal hyperplasia and stenosis, a distal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is typically created to maintain the patency of the polyester graft, both in human and animal models …”
