Auto-vein and exiting graft vascular prosthesis have been used for patch graft angioplasty. We devised nonwoven cloth as patch graft. The non woven cloth for medical use have been produced which is made of polyester fibers (Tetoron) bound with latex rubber. The non-woven cloth is able to cut any size without fraying, has elaticity and no blood porosity. The clinical use is mainly patch graft to location of incision for endarterectomy and defect after taking out catheter for balloon pumping and resection of malignant tumor which make an invasion upon a blood vessel. These operation have produced good results.
