2003, British Journal of Plastic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In such situations radical management is required. Despite the fact that it has been shown that arterial allografts (in situ replacement) proved to be significantly resistant to infection in both experimental and clinical settings,3,4,5 adequate debridement and coverage is mandatory and avoids the complications of the axillofemoral procedure,6 improving limb salvage rates.7,8,9 Mathes et al10 proved that a musculocutaneous flap could decrease the bacterial counts in an infectious terrain.
Regarding 'in situ replacement of the aorta in a contaminated field with the infrarenal inferior vena cava' [3] (multiple letters)
2000, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The use of alternate grafts more resistant to infection should have been contemplated preoperatively. Pericardial heart valves have been shown to be more resistant to infection than prosthetic valves in patients with endocarditis, and arterial homografts have been successfully used in infections of the ascending aorta.2,3 It is not known whether cryopreserved aortic homografts or pericardial xenografts are more resistant to infection than IVC autografts, specifically in the presence of arterial pressure, nor can it be anticipated over prolonged periods which one of these grafts will degenerate faster and become aneurysmal.
