Abstract

Impregnated polyester arterial prostheses have gained wide acceptance by most vascular surgery teams, probably because these prostheses are easy to use, without any preclotting. We offer here a synthesis of the main studies that have appraised the experimental and clinical performance of these prostheses, and we delineate their major prospects.
