EE4 Hospital Resource Use in below-Knee Surgical Bypass Procedures with Eptfe Vascular Grafts with Heparin End-Point Covalent Bond in Critical Limb Ischemia Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Patients

Abstract

PAD is mainly caused by atherosclerosis that reduces blood flow to the limbs. Prosthetic vascular grafts are frequently used in lower limb bypass procedures in occluded or stenosed arteries. This study reviewed the hospital resource use reported in published literature for below-knee surgical bypass procedures using the GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft with heparin end-point covalent bond.
