Abstract
The effect of phenylbutazone, an anti‐thrombotic agent, on the occlusion rate of knitted Dacron grafts placed in the infrarenal inferior vena cava of dogs was studied. Grafts placed in dogs treated with phenylbutazone remained patent significantly longer than those in untreated animals. All the grafts in the untreated group occluded, but 2 remained patent in the treated animals.
