Abstract
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) remains the "gold standard" for atherosclerotic lesions involving the carotid bifurcation. Carotid bypass grafting using either polytetrafluoroethylene or long saphenous vein is a suitable alternative technique, especially in challenging endarterectomy and on-table failed CEA. We report our initial experience of using the Gore Hybrid Vascular Graft (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) in six patients as a rescue technique when standard CEA failed.
