In the Philadelphia area alone, where one of us conducted a recent survey, over 200 arterial grafts were performed last year.8In the case of aneurysms, the indication for operation is definite enough, depending for the most part upon the making of the diagnosis and upon the ability of the patient to withstand the procedure. The indication for such surgery in the case of...Bibliography1. DeBakeyCreechCooley MEODA: Occlusive disease of the aorta and its treatment by resection and homograft replacement, Ann.
