  Interposition grafting with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene for portal hypertension.

  Rosenthal D, Deterling RA, O'Donnell TF, Callow AD.

  Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1979 Mar;148(3):387-90.

  If an interposition graft for the decompression of esophageal varices is necessary, Gore-Tex may be the graft material of choice. It is intert, nonthrombogenic and, possibly, thrombo-resistant. These characteristics of Gore-Tex explain the ease with which a graft thrombectomy was performed in one patient when necessary. Final appraisal of a synthetic venous prosthesis requires many months, if not years, of in vivo evaluation. Nevertheless, when an interposition graft is necessary for the decompression of esophageal varices, it appears that a clinical trial of Gore-Tex is reasonable in view of its characteristics.
