The primary treatment strategy for arterio-venous graft (AVG) infection includes appropriate antibiotic use and removal of the infected graft. It is well known that patients with hemodialysis are likely to experience compromised wound healing, which often leads to various postoperative complications. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a non-invasive procedure that promotes wound healing by sealing the wound under negative pressure. Although NPWT is practically accepted in general surgery, there are only a few reports of this strategy to the vascular access operation for patients with hemodialysis due to the possibility of severe bleeding. In the present report, we report a case of a patient who successfully achieved safe and early wound closure by NPWT against compromised wound healing after AVG infection.
