Polyester Vascular Graft Material and Risk for Intracavitary Thoracic Vascular Graft Infection

Prosthetic vascular graft infections of the thoracic aorta are rare but can be fatal. Our comparison of collagen-and gelatin-coated grafts showed that collagen-coated grafts were associated with increased biofilm formation and bacterial adherence in vitro and with higher rates of perioperative vascu...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Prosthetic vascular graft infections of the thoracic aorta are rare but can be fatal. Our comparison of collagen-and gelatin-coated grafts showed that collagen-coated grafts were associated with increased biofilm formation and bacterial adherence in vitro and with higher rates of perioperative vascular graft infections in vivo.
