Polyester Vascular Graft Material and Risk for Intracavitary Thoracic Vascular Graft Infection

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Prosthetic vascular graft infections of the thoracic aorta are rare but can be fatal. Our comparison of collagen- and gelatin-coated grafts showed that collagen-coated grafts were associated with increased biofilm formation and bacterial adherence in ...

Vascular Graft Impregnation with a Fosfomycin/Oritavancin Combination to Prevent Early Infection [PDF]

Pharmaceutics
Background/Objectives: Vascular graft infections (VGIs) represent a life-threatening complication, occurring in 0.2–6% of patients following aortic prosthetic placements. Historically, the primary focus for reducing VGIs has been on prevention. Currently,
