Abstract
- Introduction: Treatment of an infected aortic prosthesis is difficult and the ideal graft material is subject to debate.<br />Report: A case of infected aortic prosthesis treated using bilateral thrombosed superficial femoral veins (SFVs) is presented. Bilateral reversed SFVs were cut longitudinally at both proximal ends about 3-4 cm and were sutured side by side. The operating time was 5 h. No sign of recurrent infection was observed when the patient suffered a myocardial infarction and died 6 months post-operatively.<br />Discussion: Thrombosed SFVs may be considered as a therapeutic option for infected aortic graft replacement.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 European Society for Vascular Surgery.
