How Long Does Dacron Last? The Hidden Story of PET Hydrolysis and Fatigue in Stent-Grafts
This episode explores how polyethylene terephthalate (PET, Dacron) used in stent-graft fabric degrades over time. We discuss hydrolysis kinetics, mechanical fatigue, and real-world outcomes such as type IIIb endoleaks. Drawing on explant studies and materia...
