APPLICATION OF VASCULAR HOMOGRAFTS IN THE INFECTION OF SYNTHETIC PROSTHESES: EXPERIENCE OF A SINGLE CENTER
Abstract
This study is dedicated to the unique clinical and surgical experience of using vascular homografts in cases of synthetic prosthesis infection. The paper discusses surgical approaches that consider the clinical course of diseases, diagnostic data and the availability of homografts.
Objective. The objective of this study is to summarize and analyze the use of homografts in angiovascular surgery, assessing the effectiveness of advanced methods and homograft tissues in various clinical situations.
Material and methods. The study included six patients who underwent surgical interventions between 2015 and 2020. The patients had the following conditions: duodenal-prosthetic fistula, prosthesis infection after aorto-bifemoral bypass (ABBP), sepsis; aneurysm of distal anastomoses after aortobifemoral bypass (ABFB); infection of aorto-bifemoral prosthesis; infection of abdominal aorta stent graft; infection of prosthesis after iliac-femoral bypass.
Results. All six patients successfully underwent surgical interventions, showing favorable postoperative courses without any complications. The treatment outcomes were positive, confirming the effectiveness of homograft use in these unique clinical situations.
Conclusion. The use of vascular homografts in cases of synthetic prosthesis infection is an effective and safe method. The application of modern technologies and homologous materials in angiovascular surgery allows for positive outcomes in complex clinical situations.
