The present study was undertaken to evaluate the immediate and long-term results of polytetrafluoroethylene grafts for carotid repair. Between 1982 and 1991, 591 carotid operations (mostly endarterectomies) were performed by the authors. In 32 cases a polytetrafluoroethylene graft was used to replace ( n = 12) or to bypass ( n = 20) a stenotic lesion of the internal carotid artery. Postoperative angiography was obtained in all patients and the follow-up extended from 1 month to 9 years (mean 30 months) with clinical and duplex scan surveillance. There were no deaths within the first postoperative month. There was one acute postoperative stroke (3%) caused by plaque dislodgement and one symptomless occlusion demonstrated by routine angiography. During follow-up, seven patients died from other causes. No patient developed new neurological symptoms but routine duplex assessment showed one symptomless graft occlusion. The cumulative survival rate was 96% at 1 year and 91% at 4 years. The cumulative primary patency rate was 93% at 1 month, 89% at 1 year and 89% at 4 years. In specific situations polytetrafluoroethylene grafting is an adequate alternative to carotid endarterectomy but is not recommended by the authors as a routine procedure because of its occlusion rate (&gt;6.2%). <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/096721099600400611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T21:36:40Z","timestamp":1727213800000},"page":"740-745","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Polytetrafluoroethylene Grafts for Carotid Repair"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"J.
