Abstract
Objective: Infection of endovascular grafts are rare with rates of 0.3 – 0.8% for EVAR and 1.4 – 4.8% for TEVAR. In the light of the constantly increasing absolute number of grafts being implanted and a reintervention rate of approx. 20%, a significant number of graft infections can be anticipated. Therapeutic options in that case rely on the established principles of septic vascular reconstruction, however, we propagate complete removal of prosthetic material and autologous reconstruction.
