Vascular reconstructions in the aortofemoral region

Abstract

Prosthetic vascular graft infections in the aortofemoral region require tailored multidisciplinary treatment approach in vascular centres. "In situ" reconstructions are the method of first choice. A more conservative approach in infections involving only the peripheral part of the vascular reconstruction has a positive treatment effect.
