Length Redundancy and Twist Improve the Biomechanical Properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene Bypass Grafts
BACKGROUND: The iliofemoropopliteal artery significantly changes path length during normal hip and knee flexion. Prosthetic bypass grafts, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts, are relatively stiff and thus can subject graft anastomoses to high tension when the path length increases. The ai...
