[Simple method of infected vascular prosthesis removal]
Introduction:
Removal of infected vascular prosthesis from aortofemoral or femoropopliteal positions may be technically demanding due to their strong fibrous attachment to surrounging tissues.
Material And Methods:
The authors describe a simple method of vascular prosthesis inversion and removal from the fibrous tissue using instrumentation for tunelization.
Discussion:
The authors successfully used the method in a patient with firmly attached and thrombotized vascular prosthesis.
Conclusion:
The procedure reduced duration of the procedure and resulted in reduced traumatization of the surrounding tissue.
