- There is no global standard for treating infected aortae, including mycotic aneurysms and infected grafts, but using xenoprosthetic patches has shown lower infection rates compared to traditional prosthetics.
- This case series involved six patients with infected aortic grafts or mycotic aneurysms who underwent surgery using bovine biomaterial for aortic repair, with favorable outcomes.
- All patients survived the procedure with a median follow-up of 13 months, and imaging showed no signs of infection at the surgical site afterward.
