Abstract

Reoperation to remove an aortic graft was performed in 18 patients. The need for removal was infection in the majority. A changing flora was seen in aortic graft infection with gram-negative organisms predominating. Despite a standardized approach with total graft removal, aortic closure, and extraanatomic reconstruction, amputation and mortality rates remain unacceptably high. A new approach to this problem is needed, and further trials with autogenous reconstruction appear warranted.
