Preservation of infected and exposed vascular grafts using vacuum assisted closure without muscle flap coverage

Abstract: The most widely used techniques for graft preservation after localized graft infections are muscle flap closure or antibacterial dressings and irrigations after débridement. Vacuum assisted closure (VAC) has been increasingly used for complex wounds in vascular surgery, including groin infections, but not directly on exposed bypass grafts as a stand-alone technique. We used the VAC system after wound débridement in four patients with fully exposed synthetic bypass grafts who were too unstable or risky for furt… Show more

“…Dressing changes are carried out according to clinical presentation, usually every three to fi ve days. Dosluoglu (80) reported graft salvage rates of 90 % using VAC system. A novel hybrid technique (EndoVAC) combining the use of stent-grafts, surgical debridement, and VAC has been recently reported as a promising option in selected patients (81).…”

“…Антими-кробные протезы несколько снижают реинфекции [35]. Комплексное лечение с использованием от-рицательного давления в ране улучшает результа-ты при ПИ [12,[36][37][38][39]. Сочетание эндоваскуляр-ных процедур с хирургическим вмешательством позволяет уменьшить частоту летальных исходов при аррозивных кровотечениях [40].…”

“…[70,71] The use of local muscle flaps to promote wound healing and vascular graft salvage has been well documented. [72][73][74] VAC therapy has been reported as an adjunctive or definitive treatment for groin infections involving exposed grafts especially in high-risk surgical patients who are not candidates for graft replacement.…”
