AbstractProsthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) is a devastating complication, with a mortality rate of up to 75%, which is especially caused by aortic graft infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with in-hospital mortality of patients with definite graft infection, and with long-term outcome. We reviewed medical records of 85 patients treated for PVGIs defined by positive bacterial culture of intraoperative specimens or blood samples, and/or clinical, biological and radiological signs of infection. In-hospital patient mortality was defined as any death occurring during the initial treatment of the graft infection. Cure was defined as the absence of evidence of relapsing infection during long-term follow-...
