A case of dissection in an ACUSEAL-modified HeRO graft.

CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates a serious yet previously undescribed complication of cannulation of an ACUSEAL graft. The trilaminar construction of the graft may increase the likelihood of disruption of the luminal layer during repeated needling and predispose it to dissection. Given the consequences of graft failure in such patients, urgent intervention is warranted when graft dissection is suspected. PMID: 31841080 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
