Biosynthetic graft failure to replace infected infrainguinal bypass as developing infection due to Morganella morganii leading to disrupture of the anastomosis. Case report

Abstract

HighlightsInfection of infrainguinal bypass is a challenging complication with a high risk rate mortality and limb loss.Biosynthetic grafts are considered as the last chance to deal with bypass infection and if they fail other solutions are required.Besides occlusion of biosynthetic grafts other complications may occur during the follow up such as infection and haemorrhage.Recurrent infection of two different grafts used for infrainguinal bypass makes meaningless the use of other materials at the same surgical site.Extra- anatomical bypass avoiding the compromised and complicated surgical site could be a solution to assure limb salvage and patient survival.
