Abstract
- Infection of both native and prosthetic vessels are most frequently seen in the groin. The successful treatment of prosthetic graft infection requires excision of the affected graft, adequate debridement, and restoration of circulation. Restoration of arterial circulation can be accomplished by using in situ reconstruction with femoral vein, cryopreserved allografts, or antibiotic-impregnated synthetic grafts. The obturator and lateral femoral bypasses are the most frequently used extra-anatomic bypasses. We experienced one case of bilateral obturator bypasses for the femoral graft infection.
