“…18 Although PTFE grafts have been reported to be infection resistant and have been occasionally used in sites known to be contaminated,19.21 a more recent report could find no difference between PTFE and Dacron aortic grafts in a 22-month follow-up study. 22 The relative resistance of a biologic tissue graft to infection has been previously suggested,23 and autogenous tissues of intestinal origin have been investigated previously as temporary or permanent replacements for infected synthetic grafts in animal studies with excellent results. 24 ,25 It is unlikely that autogenous intestinal grafts will be used as arterial grafts during the same procedure as performed in this study.…”

“…Corson et al [14]compared 215 Dacron and 216 PTFE aortic grafts that were followed for a median of 22 months, and found no difference in infection rates. Other characteristics of Dacron grafts that were attractive for testing this model include its higher rate of bacterial adherence compared to PTFE [15], and the relatively poor adherence of seromuscular flaps to PTFE [8].…”
