Comparative study of modified HeRO grafts using bovine carotid artery as conduits versus polytetrafluoreythylene
Bovine carotid artery grafts are comparable in primary patency, primary-assisted patency, and secondary patency versus PTFE. Number of interventions required and done were similar in both groups. BCAG was associated with lower rates of infection compared to PTFE. BCAG is an acceptable conduit for HeRO graft and may be a better option compared to PTFE.
