    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Infectious Disease Prevention
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • The protected coagulum method has been utilized for over 30 years.
    • Its principle is increasingly applied in single-dose perioperative antibiotic administration.
    • Blood coagula play a role in vascular wall morphogenesis in prostheses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the protected coagulum method in reducing infection rates in arterial reconstructive procedures.
    • To highlight the long-term antibiotic action of specific antibiotics within protected coagula.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of the protected coagulum method in 1,657 patients undergoing arterial reconstructive procedures.
    • Experimental investigation of tobramycin, lincomycin, and cephazolin in forming protected coagula.

  • Analysis of infection rates post-procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • The protected coagulum method resulted in a low infection rate of 0.9% in 1,657 patients.
    • Experimental evidence shows that tobramycin, lincomycin, and cephazolin form protected coagula with sustained antibiotic release.
    • The method has demonstrated its value in vascular prosthesis applications.

    Conclusions:

    • The protected coagulum method is a time-tested and effective strategy for preventing infections in vascular surgery.
    • Perioperative antibiotic administration via protected coagula offers prolonged therapeutic action.
    • This technique is crucial for improving outcomes in arterial reconstructive procedures.
