Multiple Aneurysms in Dacron Velour Graft

Abstract

• Formation of an aneurysm in a Dacron graft is a rare complication. It usually occurs within two years from operation. Most cases take the form of a generalized dilation. Multiple saccular aneurysms developed in a patient with a Dacron velour graft. The cause of the complication is not always clear, but multiple defects in the construction of the Dacron graft seemed the most likely cause in this case. (Arch Surg 113:320-321, 1978)
