Abstract

The current treatment standard of infected infrainguinal prosthetic vascular grafts includes total graft explantation and autologous vascular reconstruction. In the absence of appropriate autologous venous graft material prosthetic grafts with increased bacterial resistance can be used, whereas reinfection rates are still higher than after autologous reconstruction. Biosynthetic grafts have shown low postoperative infection rates when used as elective bypass material. Their higher resistance to bacterial infection could make them an alternative to replace infected prosthetic grafts in the absence of autologous material. Between November 2009 and April 2011, 7 patients with infected infrainguinal prosthetic grafts (Szilagyi 3; 3 supragenicular and 4 infragenicular reconstructions) presented to our institution. There were 4 early (< 3 months after implantation) and 3 late infections (> 3 months after implantation. All grafts were explanted and replaced by biosynthetic grafts (Omniflow II®), because the patient had no suitable peripheral vein for complete autologous replacement. In 2 cases a composite graft with greater saphenous vein was done. In 6 cases microbiological cultures from intraoperatively obtained species were positiv...Continue Reading
