Abstract
The degree and significance of postoperative alteration in the size of Dacron grafts in the infrarenal abdominal aorta was assessed by compu ted tomography. We studied a total of 41 knitted Dacron fabric grafts, comprising 28 Gelseal triaxial grafts and 13 Hemashield Microvel graf ts, and 29 woven Dacron fabric (Veri-Soft Woven) grafts which were use d to replace the infrarenal abdominal aneurysms. These three types of Dacron fabric dilated immediately after replacement to 1.4-1.5 times t he manufactured size, but did not dilate further after the surgery.
