Vascular grafts

Vascular grafts are artificial or natural tubes used to replace or bypass damaged or blocked blood vessels, such as arteries. They help restore normal blood flow and prevent complications like organ damage or limb loss. Grafts can be made from synthetic materials like Dacron or Teflon, or from the patient's own veins. These procedures are common in treating conditions like aneurysms or severe blockages, improving both survival and quality of life. The goal is to create a durable, biocompatible pathway that efficiently directs blood where it's needed.
