Summary

Vascular allografts offer a treatment option for infected vascular prosthetics when autologous grafts are unavailable. This study found fresh arterial allografts successful in most patients, despite one early occlusion.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Transplantation
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Vascular prosthetic infections pose a significant clinical challenge.
  • Autologous grafts are often unsuitable for treating these infections.
  • Vascular allografts are an exceptional but viable therapeutic option.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the short-term outcomes of using fresh arterial allografts in patients with vascular prosthetic infections.
  • To assess the feasibility and safety of allograft use when autologous options are absent.

Summary:

  • Fourteen patients received fresh arterial allografts between 2001-2004 due to the absence of usable autologous grafts.
  • Ten cases involved infected synthetic vascular grafts, with three experiencing critical limb ischemia.

  • One patient developed a false femoral artery aneurysm infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
  • Grafts were stored in antibiotic solution, with Custodiol used for preservation.

    • Impact:

    • No early mortality was observed, though one case of early occlusion necessitated major amputation.
    • Eleven patients (79%) experienced uneventful short-term follow-up.
    • All patients received cyclosporine post-operatively, indicating immunosuppression protocols were followed.
