Abstract
Infection following vascular operations, particularly after synthetic prosthetic graft implantation, remains a serious complication of reconstructive vascular surgery. In this paper, four cases of bifurcated graft infection limited to the distal part of one of the branches are presented. Because of the unsatisfactory results of conventional treatment, the patients underwent in situ replacement of the infected distal part of the prosthesis branch with fresh arterial homograft. Follow-up revealed complete remission of infection. The use of arterial homograft can be limited to the replacement of infected segment of prosthesis.
