A Systematic Review of In-situ Aortic Reconstructions for Abdominal Aortic Graft and Endograft Infections: Outcomes of Currently Available Options for Surgical Replacement.

Background: This review synthetizes recent literature about in-situ aortic reconstructions for abdominal aortic graft or endograft infections (AGEIs), aiming to report outcomes individually related to currently available vascular substitutes (VSs).

Methods: We performed a systematic review of all published literature from January 2005 to December 2022. We included articles reporting on open surgical treatment of abdominal AGEIs, with removal of the infected graft and in-situ reconstruction with biological or prosthetic material.
