Abstract:
As the population of patients with aortic prostheses continues to grow, it becomes increasingly vital to implement comprehensive and rigorous protocols for antibiotic prophylaxis during dental procedures. That ensures strict adherence to the updated guidelines in order to effectively prevent the risk of life-threatening infections associated with vascular grafts and stent-grafts, thus safeguarding patient outcomes over the long term.
