Prótesis vasculares recubiertas con heparina para el tratamiento de la enfermedad arterial periférica. [Heparin-bonded vascular prostheses for the treatment of peripheral artery disease] Buenos Aires: Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS). Informe de Respuesta Rápida N°252. 2012 Authors' objectives To assess the evidence available on the safety, efficacy and other aspects related to coverage polices of the use of heparin-bonding vascular prosthesis for the treatment of peripheral artery occlusion. Authors' conclusions Short and long-term primary and secondary permeability rates have made heparin-bound prostheses a safe and efficient choice especially in procedures carried out above the knee. Long-term randomized studies are required to determine the true relative efficacy of this prosthesis versus standard prosthesis and autologous vein bypass. At present, the autologous vein bypass is still the surgical approach of choice for PAS. Since it cannot always be carried out, mainly due to patient-related factors, synthetic heparin-bound prostheses have become a valid alternative.
