Article Synopsis
- Aortic graft infection (AGI) is a serious condition that can lead to severe complications, making the NAIS procedure a potential reconstruction option after graft removal.
- A study reviewed 14 patients undergoing the NAIS procedure at a single center from 2010 to 2022, finding a 30-day mortality of 21% and a 64.3% overall complication rate during a mean follow-up of 22 months.
- A systematic review of the literature revealed a broader analysis of 368 patients, indicating a lower combined 30-day mortality of 9% and re-intervention rates of around 20.5%, suggesting variable outcomes depending on the context and patient population.
