Prosthetic graft infections: a review of 720 arterial prosthetic reconstructions.

摘要: Six-hundred-and-three patients who underwent 720 vascular prosthetic graft operations caudal to the diaphragm were studied retrospectively. Wound complications appeared in 99 patients. Prophylactic antibiotics not used. Serous secretion was found after 27 arterial procedures (3.8%), superficial wound infection 41 (5.7%), and 31 (4.3%). Of with infection, 10 recovered (32%). Four of these removal Staphylococcus aureus-infected prosthesis. Three received a replacement prosthesis systemic antibiotic treatment closed irrigation, one patient's replaced an autologous vein treatment. Twelve (39%) amputation 9 died. The frequency occlusion greater when infected aureus than other microorganisms. aggressive approach used 4 above-mentioned cases could be modality aureus, especially because high incidence associated
