Clinical experience with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheet used as an artificial dura mater.
Dural repair using chemically treated cadaveric dura mater often results in atrophic and fragile change of the substitute as well as adhesion between the dura mater and brain surface at reoperation. Creutz-feldt-Jakob disease has occurred after repair using cadaveric dura mater. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPTFE) surgical sheet was used for dural repair in 34 patients. Suturing of EPTFE w...
متن کاملHistological examination of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene artificial dura mater at 14 years after craniotomy: case report.
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) porous material (GORE(®) PRECLUDE(®) Dura Substitute) does not degenerate or deteriorate in vivo, and is currently used as artificial dura mater. This material does not adhere well to the surrounding tissues, but cerebrospinal fluid leakage along the suture line has been observed in several cases. We describe a case of craniotomy for tumor resection perf...
متن کاملFrontal suspension for congenital ptosis using an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-Tex®) sheet: one-year follow-up
BACKGROUND The frontalis suspension technique is the surgical method of choice in patients with ptosis and a levator function of 4 mm or less. Several types of materials have been used, including Gore-Tex(®), which has been used successfully as a frontalis sling material since 1986. Recently, a Gore-Tex sheet (wider than a sling or strip) suspension was reported. This paper reports the results ...
متن کاملUse of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures as artificial tendinous cords in children with congenital mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy in the intermediate term of artificial cords inserted in children with congenital mitral regurgitation. METHODS We reconstructed the tendinous cords using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sutures in 11 children with severe mitral regurgitation. In these patients, the aortic (anterior) leaflet of the mitral valve had been markedly prolapsed, the tend...
متن کاملDuraplasty in the posterior fossa using a boat-shaped sheet of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
Application of sutures between expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) dural substitutes and the dura mater is often frustrating in posterior fossa surgery because of the difficulty in holding the elastic graft in a deep and narrow field. To resolve this problem, we have developed a boat-shaped graft made from a triangular ePTFE sheet by pinching each angle using a suture. Formation of standin...
