Özet
Late thrombosis of prosthetic graft material is rarely managed successfully by simple thrombectomy or thrombolytic therapy. Replacement with a new graft may be necessary. Although several techniques have been described, mobilizing and removing an old thrombosed prosthetic graft is usually extremely difficult because of a firm attachment to its tunnel. This attempt is more difficult especially for ringed grafts. We describe a simple technique of using an internal varicose vein stripper for the removal of such a late thrombosed axillofemoral spiral polytetrafluoroethylene graft and positioning a new graft into the old tunnel. © 2001 Excerpta Medica, Inc.
