[Application of different textile vascular grafts in the aorto-femoral location and ways for their improvement]

A comparative analysis of 220 reconstructions of the aortofemoral segment with the application of vascular prostheses of firms "Sever" and "Vascutek" was made. It was established that in patients with obvious anemia and hemodilution (hematocrit less than 25%, hemoglobin less that 80 g/l) an important condition for less total blood loss was to impart the zero surgical porosity to the graft wall at the preoperative stage. However, the biological impregnation used for these purposes reinforces the inflammatory component in the implantation of the vascular graft. The authors propose to use a more inert polytetrafluoroethylene film to impart the zero surgical porosity to the graft wall.
