Fig 1 Preparation of the patch for T-banding. A, A 60-mm-long, 8-mm thin-wall expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft segment is cut open longitudinally to form a 60-mm × 24-mm patch. B, After measuring the diameter of the arterial inflow and arterial outflow the circumferences α and β were calculated, with 3 as an estimation for π. Half of venous outflow circumference δ was set to 9 mm by experience (resulting in a 6-mm diameter). Distances α, β and δ were marked (little crosses) on the patch. C, Dotted lines were drawn on the patch to determine the shape of the T-band. D, After cutting along the dotted lines, the shape of the T-band is demonstrated. E, Once folded, the T-band is ready for implantation. Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2006 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
