Abstract
A retrospective cohort, single-center study was performed from January 2005 to December 2016. Infection developed in significantly more patients who had undergone elective open aortoiliac surgery for occlusive disease (10%; 22 of 213) than for aneurysms (6%; 10 of 301). The incidence of infection-related readmission (7% vs 1%) and reintervention (4% vs 1%) was also significantly greater after surgery for occlusive disease than for aneurysmal disease. Logistic regression showed occlusive disease and chronic renal disease were associated with surgical site infection. Patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease had a greater rate of surgical site infections compared with patients with aortoiliac aneurysmal disease, in part owing to the inherent use of an inguinal incision in patients with occlusive disease.
