Key result
Autogenous vein versus Dacron patch graft comparison in dogs lacks reported long-term patency results.
Why the study?
The optimal type of patch graft for long term patency after small vessel arteriotomy remains uncertain, with preferences varying between autogenous vein, autogenous artery, and synthetic materials.
Does autogenous vein patch graft improve long term patency compared to Dacron patch graft in dogs?

Does autogenous vein patch graft improve long term patency compared to Dacron patch graft in dogs?
This preclinical study aimed to compare the long-term patency of autogenous vein patches versus Dacron patch grafts in a canine model.
Leopoldo I. Pena (1968) studied Arteriotomy of a small vessel (n=11). Autogenous vein patch vs. Dacron patch graft was evaluated on Long term patency. The abstract is truncated and does not report the results of the comparison between autogenous vein and Dacron patch grafts in dogs.
