The hospital reported that during a below knee left fem pop bypass with fusion bioline 6mm-60cm supp peripheral, the surgeon used a gore tunneler, placed 6x60 ringed fusion bioline graft, removed some of the rings, cut the end of the graft to angle into patient's vein and the pet layer became detached from the ptfe layer completely.This also occurred on the other end of the graft as well and was difficult to suture both layers together due to the angle of placement (deep behind patient's knee - not easy visual for surgery) case was delayed because patient received platelets prior.
