Abstract:
A 73-year-old man who had undergone Y-grafting suffered from septicemia. A culture of arterial blood yielded Bacteroides fragilis. Computed tomography showed abscess and gas around the prosthetic graft. Under a diagnosis of a prosthetic graft infection caused by Bacteroides fragilis, removal of the infected graft, extra-anatomic bypass and omental grafting were performed 13 days after the first operation. After intensive treatment, he recovered and was discharged on the 45th day postoperatively.
