Prosthesis jump graft: an unusual arterial reconstruction in liver transplantation

Transplantation. 1998 Jan 27;65(2):288-90. doi: 10.1097/00007890-199801270-00029.

Abstract

The authors present a case of arterial jump graft using a number 9 Goretex prosthesis (FEP ringed vascular graft; W.I. Gore Associates Inc.-Delaware, Flagstaff, AZ) with an excellent outcome 3 years after the transplant. The prosthesis was necessary because of the impossibility of using the donor iliac arterial grafts due to the presence of widespread atherosclerotic damage.
