“…With extra-anatomic bypass and graft excision, the 30-day mortality rates have improved over time, in general ranging from 5% to 25%. 4,18–21 Late mortality has been 20% and 45% in most series. 18,20,21 Limited graft patency has been the principal disadvantage with this technique.…”

Infections of vascular grafts are associated with significant mortality and morbidity risk and cost an estimated $640 million annually in the United States. Clinical presentation varies by time elapsed from implantation and by surgical site. A thorough history and physical examination in conjunction with a variety of imaging modalities is often essential to diagnosis. For infected aortic grafts, there are several options for treatment, including graft excision with extra-anatomic bypass, in situ reconstruction, or reconstruction with the neo-aortoiliac system. The management of infected endovascular aortic grafts is similar. For infected peripheral bypasses, graft preservation techniques can be utilized, but in cases where it is not possible, graft removal and revascularization through uninfected tissue planes is necessary. Infected dialysis access can be surgically treated by complete or subtotal graft excision. Diagnosis, general management, and surgical approaches to infected vascular grafts are discussed in this review.

“…Implantation of vascular allografts is one of the principal methods of vascular reconstruction following removal of infected grafts. 1,2 Unfortunately, although early results are very satisfying, there is a substantial number of long-term complications. The most important complications are segmental stenosis or dilatation, thrombosis, cracking of the wall or disruption of the anastomosis leading to development of pseudoaneurysms.…”

“…For patients with pre-transplant device-related infections, the necessary use of immunosuppressive medications often leads to post-transplant infectious sequelae of varying significance. 14 Although many studies have documented the increased mortality and morbidity associated with devicerelated infection and sepsis during LVAD support, few have addressed these issues in LVAD patients after cardiac transplantation. In this study we seek to confirm previous findings regarding which types of devicerelated infections impact bridge to transplantation.…”
