“…To identify an improved process outcome, the rate of patients who initiated AMP within 60 min before the incision, the rate of patients who received appropriate additional AMP for prolonged surgery, the rate of patients with an adequate interval of administration of AMP (q8 h) after surgery, and the duration of AMP were compared between pre-and postintervention periods. The appropriateness of AMP was determined by the ''Guideline for prevention of surgical site infection, 1999,'' established by the Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee [13], and ''Guidelines for implementation of clinical studies on surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (2007)'' [14].…”

Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) frequently have other abdominal pathologies of surgical interest (other diseases, OD). Out of 1,375 elective open aortic replacements for AAA, 315 cases with OD were subdivided in Group 1 (82 patients with “clean wound” OD) and Group 2 (233 patients with “clean-contaminated wound” OD). The results of the sub-groups in which OD was treated at the same time as AAA were analysed (1a, 66 cases and 2a, 86 cases) and compared with OD not treated at the same time as AAA (1b, 16 cases and 2b, 147 cases). EVAR was done in 12 patients with a infrarenal AAA and concomitant abdominal disease. In this group post-operative complications occured in two patients (endoleaks) and no sign of endograft infection was developed. Mean follow-up was 36 months. Mortality was 0% in Group 1a, 1b, 2b and 5.8% in Group 2a. In Group 1a there were one haemoperitoneum, one ischaemic colitis and one graft infection. In Group 1b there were 4 nefrectomies for renal carcinoma and three emergency hernia repairs within 18 months from AAA operation. In Group 2a the follow-up was uneventful. In Group 2b there was no acute complication of OD and 57.2% of patients were subsequently operated for OD. In the EVAR group the 30-day and late mortality rates were 0 and 25%, respectively and all deaths were cancer-related. Contemporary correction of OD in open surgery for AAA should be performed in clean wound cases, while clean-contaminated operations can be done only in selected cases. EVAR is a valid alternative technique to open vascular surgery for the concomitant treatment of aortic aneurysms and abdominal pathologies.
