Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Clinic Gasthuisberg-St. Rafaël, Leuven, Belgium.

Published: July 1988

The Authors describe a patient, in whom an infected aortobifemoral Dacron prosthesis was successfully replaced by an autogenous venous graft. A review of the literature is presented and it is concluded that autogenous reconstruction of the infected field represents a feasible alternative to extra-anatomical revascularisation in the treatment of selected patients with vascular prosthetic infection.
