Sartorius transposition to protect vascular grafts in the groin.

摘要: Fifty-two patients who required reexploration through the groin incision within seven days of an arterial procedure were studied to assess value sartorius transposition. Twenty-four group I had muscle used cover vascular graft at reoperation while 28 II a standard closure. The groups similar with respect age, initial operation, incidence diabetes, and use antibiotics postoperative anticoagulation. Wound complications frequent in both (62.5% vs. 57.1%, respectively) but outcome these wound problems was quite different. Graft infection anastomotic disruption significantly less patients. Because fewer infected prostheses be removed likely require high level amputations. Sartorius transposition is effective method protecting grafts jeopardized by frequency associated early reoperation.
