Summary
We report the early results of a series of 48 femoropopliteal bypass operations in which a new knitted Dacron prosthesis (Hemaguard-RS-prosthesis) was used. The indication for operation was severe claudication in 19 (39.5%) cases and critical ischaemia in 29 (60.5%) cases. Nine (18.75%) were above-knee, 30 (62.5%) below-knee femoropopliteal, and 9 (18.75%) femorotibial bypasses. The angiographic run-off was poor in 28 (58.33%) limbs. The perioperative mortality rate (1 to 30 days) was 2.56% (one patient). The primary patency was 86% and the secondary patency 90%. The ideal prosthesis has yet to be developed. It is, however, our opinion that the Hemaguard prosthesis will establish itself, not only in replacement of large-caliber arteries, but in the field of peripheral vascular surgery as well.
