Management of thoracic aortic graft infections

Abstract: Aortic graft prostheses are susceptible to infection that can have catastrophic consequences with an operative mortality of nearly 50%. Management options include graft excision and replacement, aortic re-routing, and graft preservation techniques. This review summarizes the management of thoracic aortic graft infections.

“…Complete removal of the infected graft and in situ replacement with rifampicin‐soaked Dacron grafts is the standard procedure to cure graft infection. A rerouting technique, not an in situ technique, is another option). Although cryopreserved arterial homografts are one of the types of materials used to treat infected aortas, the supply in Japan is inadequate, and it is difficult to obtain one in time for an urgent operation.…”

Dentro de los factores de riesgo vinculados al paciente se destacan: diabetes mellitus, estados de inmunosupresión, malnutrición, insuficiencia renal, insuficiencia cardíaca y edad avanzada (1,2) . El 75% de las infecciones es causado por Staphylococus aureus coagulasa negativo.…”

“…Los hallazgos posibles incluyen: engrosamiento de la pared del injerto, presencia de líquido o gas alrededor del mismo, colecciones, pseudoaneurismas o ambos. Aunque la presencia de líquido y edemas es considerada normal en el posoperatorio, más allá de los tres meses es indicativo de etiología infecciosa (1) . En la última década ha aumentado el uso de PET-CT.…”

“…Other reports have shown success, but there is no current accepted method for the treatment of these patients. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Among the significant challenges in presenting such a population are the low occurrence rate and the heterogeneity of the group across multiple defining features. The differing complexities of ascending versus descending repair are highlighted by Nissen and colleagues.…”
