Outcomes of biosynthetic collagen prostheses with comparison to cryopreserved arterial homografts for bypass reconstruction in infrainguinal vascular graft infections
This study suggests that biosynthetic grafts are viable and accessible alternatives for traditional graft materials, offering similar efficacy and ease of use. Although autologous vein grafts remain the gold standard for VGI management, biosynthetic grafts may serve as a viable alternatives to cryopreserved arterial homografts in the treatment of infrainguinal VGIs.
