Extra-anatomical Bypass of Iliac Vein Obstruction

Use of a Synthetic (Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene [Goretex]) Graft

Alexander W. Clowes, MD

Arch Surg. 1980;115(6):767-769.

Abstract

• A long synthetic graft polytetrafluoroethylene was used to provide an extra-anatomic bypass of an Iliac vein obstruction secondary to recurrent thrombophlebitis. The graft has remained patent during the 12-month period of observation. A distal, previously placed arteriovenous fistula in this circumstance was important.
