dc.description.abstractVascular graft infection is a devastating complication of vascular reconstructive surgery. The infection can occur early in the postoperative period and is largely due to intraoperative contamination or by contiguous extension from a nearby infection. It can also occur years after implantation. Staphylococci remain the most common organisms and biofilm production makes eradication difficult. Factors commonly reported to predispose to vascular graft infection are periodontal disease, nasal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus, bacteremia, certain graft characteristics, diabetes mellitus, postoperative hyperglycemia, location of the incision, wound infection, and emergency procedure. Management consists of antibiotic and surgical therapy. Preventive methods are described. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
