Overview

Brief Summary

This trial was designed to challenge the wide held view that polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) performs better than Dacron for above knee femoropopliteal bypass.

Detailed Description

Objective: To investigate whether patency rates of 6 mm gelatine coated, knitted, double velour polyester prostheses are equal to the 6 mm thinwalled ePTFE prostheses as above-knee femoro-popliteal bypass graft
