Reinfection incidence following surgical intervention for infected aortic bypass: a meta-analysis
Reinfection rates after surgical treatment of infected aortic bypass grafts were relatively high and constitute a challenge of high clinical impact. This is further demonstrated by the high 30-day mortality rate. The significant variation in treatment approaches observed above also highlights the lack of formalized management protocols. Further studies are needed to determine the best surgical approach and patient-related risk factors to optimize outcomes in this difficult population.
