Résumé
Vascular graft/endograft infection (VGEI) is a constant in cardiovascular surgery with published rates between 1 and 5%. Every graft type and anatomical location is a potential target for infectious complications. These patients are sick patients with high frailty burden. Management of VGEI entails a multidisciplinary and multimodality approach. Here we review some aspects of the problem of VGEI including prevention, diagnosis, and surgical therapy with focus on recent developments in the field.
