In preclinic studies Carbon lining significantly decreases platelet accumulation, six times greater platelet deposition with standard PTFE grafts vs carbon-lined grafts and carbon-coated PTFE grafts show statistically greater thrombus-fre area. In clinical stidies The carboflo shows fewer occlusion, the carbon seems to be a valuable addition to PTFE bypass material and primary and secondary cumulative patency rates show distinct improvement in the Carbon group
