Treatment of aortic graft infection by in situ reconstruction with Omniflow II biosynthetic prosthesis

摘要

Currently available conduits for in situ reconstruction after excision of infected aortic grafts have significant limitations. The Omniflow II vascular prosthesis is a biosynthetic graft associated with a low incidence of infection that has succesfully been used in the treatment of infected infrainguinal bypass. We report on the first use of the Omniflow II prosthesis for in situ reconstruction after aortic graft infection.
