Popis: Infection of peripheral arterial vascular grafts and stent-grafts represents a complex surgical scenario, with a number of proposed management strategies. Surgical removal of infected material with adjunctive arterial reconstruction is often required. However, surgical removal is often difficult and complex. This case study demonstrates an infected Viabahn stent-graft between the external iliac artery and the superficial femoral artery, with arterial autolysis of the common femoral artery and proximal superficial femoral artery, in which a hybrid technique combining remote endarterectomy and surgical debridement was used to remove the infected stent-graft.
