Animal studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of ibuprofen in reducing early platelet deposition on small diameter (4 mm) Gore-Tex (polytetrafluoroethylene) arterial grafts and larger (10 mm) Gore-Tex grafts placed in the inferior vena cava. These studies demonstrated a significant reduction in platelet deposition at one and three hours. Additional studies of animals undergoing treatment with ibuprofen and subjected to arterial replacement with 1 or 4 mm Gore-Tex grafts demonstrated enhanced patency at 30 days. Cautious evaluation of ibuprofen as an adjunct in vascular surgery appears warranted.
