Clinical Comparison of a New Non-Sealed Woven Dacron Graft and Sealed Woven Dacron Grafts

Non-Anastomotic Rupture of a Woven Dacron Graft in the Descending Thoracic Aorta Treated with Endovascular Stent Grafting

The intrinsic structural failure of a Dacron graft resulting from the loss of structural integrity of the graft fabric can cause late graft complications. Late non-anastomotic rupture has traditionally been treated surgically via open thoracotomy. We report a case of the successful use of thoracic endovascular repair to treat a Dacron graft rupture in the descending aorta. The rupture occurred ...

A case of in-situ reconstruction with a rifampicin-bonded gelatin-sealed woven dacron graft for prosthetic graft infection with pseudoaneurysms after ascending aortic replacement for type a dissection.

A 74-year-old woman underwent replacement of the ascending aorta for acute type A aortic dissection. The patient suffered from bacteremia postoperatively and repeated computed tomography showed an increasing diameter of pseudoaneurysms at the site of the proximal anastomosis due to graft infection. Re-mechanical Bentall operation and arch replacement were therefore performed using a composite g...

Dacron graft aneurysm with dissection

Dacron grafts have been used as a conduit for large caliber arteries for many years successfully. However, these grafts can undergo complications such as aneurysm formation, rupture, and failure. Evaluation of these complications are of paramount importance because of its tendency to rupture and cause death. Imaging plays an important role in identifying and monitoring of these complications, a...

New Dacron tissue colonisable keratoprosthesis: clinical experience.

BACKGROUND Keratoprostheses (KPs) are made of an optical cylinder integrated with a supporting element which conditions their biocompatibility. A new KP with a Dacron tissue colonisable support has been designed in order to reduce significantly the complication rate. METHODS This new KP was implanted into 20 eyes of 20 patients with bilateral corneal blindness unsuited to a corneal implant. T...
