Af. Aburahma et Aj. Deluca, MULTIPLE NONANASTOMOTIC ANEURYSMS IN AN EXTERNAL VELOUR RINGED DACRONFEMOROPOPLITEAL VASCULAR PROSTHESIS, Annals of vascular surgery, 9(5), 1995, pp. 493-496
Nonanastomotic aneurysms of arterial prosthetic grafts are an infreque
nt but well-documented complication of arterial bypass surgery. Severa
l cases of nonanastomotic aneurysm formation of the external velour-ty
pe Dacron graft have been reported. We present a case of an external v
elour ringed Dacron (Sauvage EXS) femoropopliteal bypass graft with mu
ltiple nonanastomotic aneurysms. An extensive review of the English li
terature shows this to be the first reported case of multiple aneurysm
s occurring in this type of prosthesis.
