| Popis: | Purpose: Treatment of aortoiliac prosthetic graft infections includes the removal of the infected material and repeat revascularization if necessary. The risk of infection of the graft material used for the repeat revascularization has been the drawback of its use in situ except with autografts. Good results were obtained in this setting by use of in situ arterial allografts. The purpose of our study was to compare in vivo the infectibility of arteries used as allografts to the infectibility of commercially available prostheses.Methods: Twelve dogs underwent thoracoabdominal aortic bypass with use of either an artery from a human being (n=6) or an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) graft (n=6). One month later, bacteremia was produced with Staphylococcus aureus. One week after bacterial challenge, the animals were killed to recover the grafts. Each graft then underwent bacterial study.Results: None of the arterial grafts grew bacteria, whereas four of the six ePTFE grafts (P |
