“…100 Stent infection, however, is rare; one medical center estimated an incidence between 1993 and 2000 of Ͻ1 in 10 000 cases. 100 When they occur, however, stent infections can cause severe complications, 101 including pseudo-and mycotic aneurysms, abscess formation, arterial necrosis, septic emboli, refractory sepsis, need for amputation, and death.…”

“…102 S aureus has been identified as a pathogen 101,102 in the large majority of cases and is recovered from blood and operative specimen cultures. CT scanning and angiography have been useful in suggesting a diagnosis of endovascular stent infection by showing fluid and inflammatory reaction around the stent.…”

“…Although uncommon, peripheral extra-anatomical graft and endovascular stent-graft infection can create complex surgical scenarios with significant patient morbidity. Incidence of infected peripheral bare-metal stents is estimated at 1 in 10,000 7 , with scattered cases reported [7][8][9] .…”

“…Endovascular stent infections are a rare but potentially disastrous complication of this procedure. Some reported complications with endovascular stents have included septic embolization, disseminated intravascular coagulation, arterial necrosis with vessel rupture, abscess or mycotic aneurysm formation, persistent sepsis, and death [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Because the reported incidence of stent infections appears to be less than one in 10,000 cases, prophylactic antibiotics are not administered routinely.…”
