HistoryHistoryHistoryHistory• the history of vascular grafts is closelythe history of vascular grafts is closely

linked to popliteal aneurysms and was influenced by Alexis Carrel’s publishedinfluenced by Alexis Carrel s published work in 1902

• the first vascular grafts were done as follows:Goyanes – 1906 – popliteal vein was used in situ to replaced a popliteal aneurysmin situ to replaced a popliteal aneurysm Enderlen – 1907 – end to end anastamosisPringle 1913 reversed saphenous vein
