Abstract:
The graft infection within the abdomen is a notorious condition, which usually develops serious complications of anastomotic rupture or distal embolism that ended in death. There has been many controversies in the treatment of an aortobiiliac graft infection and varying results have been reported. The authors treated a case of aortobiiliac graft infection after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. The operation was performed with re-aortobiiliac bypass using bilateral superficial femoral veins. The result was successful.
