Goretex and autogenous vein in the canine model.

Thirty Goretex grafts of 6 mm internal diameter, 30 mu fibril length, 30 mg/cc density and 0.5 mm wall thickness were placed as end-to-side bypass grafts in canine femoral arteries. Handling characteristics, patency and healing properties were compared with autogenous jugular veins which were anastomosed into the opposing femoral arteries. Autogenous veins were easier to anastomose and they showed a patency rate of 87% over a 16 week observation period. The Goretex grafts had a 50% patency rate during the same period. Goretex grafts failed because of technical errors (9), graft kinks (5), infection (3) and neointimal fibrous hyperplasia (2). This canine model has previously been used to evaluate all currently available biologic and synthetic vascular grafts. Goretex grafts demonstrated the highest rate of technical failures, but the lowest incidence of neointimal fibrous hyperplasia when compared to other grafts previously tested in this model.
