To determine whether choice of material used for patch closure following @entity2998 ( @entity2998 ) influences rates of early or late restenosis, @entity64 , and @entity204 , 274 consecutive CAEs were retrospectively reviewed. Saphenous vein (SV) was used in 159 (58.0%) procedures; everted, double-thickness jugular vein (JV) was used in 25 (9.1%); and knitted Dacron (KD) was used in 90 (32.9%). Primary closure was not used in this series. There were four perioperative @entity64 : two (1.3%) in SV, one (4%) in JV, and one (1.1%) in KD ( @entity7031 ). Follow-up was obtained on 263 (96%) operated arteries (mean 41.5 months). Duplex scan results were available for 236 (89.7%) of these arteries (mean follow-up time 33.7 months). There were three (2%) late @entity64 in SV and two (2.2%) in KD ( @entity7031 ). In long-term follow-up, one @entity1 (0.7%) in SV and two (2.4%) in KD developed > 80% @entity850 ( @entity7031 ). One @entity1 (0.7%) in SV, one (5.3%) in JV, and one (1.2%) in KD had total occlusion of the operated vessel ( @entity7031 ). Three procedures (2.2%) in SV, 1 (5.3%) in JV, and 7 (8.5%) in KD demonstrated moderate @entity850 (50-79%) ( @entity7031 ). Three-year follow-up shows that choice of patch material does not affect early or late @entity64 rate, @entity64 -related @entity204 rate, rate of high-grade (> 80%) restenosis, or rate of total occlusion. There is a higher incidence of moderate @entity850 in KD. Although our results and a review of the literature do not indicate that these @entity1 are at increased risk for symptoms or progression of @entity850 , they should be followed by duplex scanning to ensure that this is the case.
