Diabetes 39 15%
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) 100 36%

Study details

  • Prospective, randomized, multi-center (11 centers) study comparing GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft versus standard ePTFE
  • Fem-pop (majority above-knee) and fem-fem bypasses
  • Statistically significant improvement in primary and secondary patency with GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft versus standard ePTFE for all bypasses
  • In fem-pop patients with CLI, GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft primary patency was 80% while standard ePTFE patency was 58% (p < 0.05)

We have seen that the GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft keeps its promise as shown in previously conducted prospective and retrospective studies. – J. Lindholt

*GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft group, N = 272,* which includes 160 patients with fem-fem bypass.
