1 Cryopreserved arterial homografts vs silver-coated Dacron grafts for abdominal aortic infections with intraoperative evidence of microorganisms  Theodosios Bisdas, MD, Mathias Wilhelmi, MD, Axel Haverich, MD, Omke E.

2 Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier life-table analysis comparing the survival rates after in situ reconstruction of the infected abdominal aorta with cryopreserved arterial homografts (group A) and silver-coated Dacron grafts (group B). The standard error (SE) is <10% in group A at 1.2 months, 11% at 36 months, and 12% at 37 months. SE is <10% in group B at 0.01 months, 12% at 0.56 months, and 13% at 2 months.

3 Fig 2 18Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography scan of patient 25 shows the ongoing infection of the silver-coated graft caused by concomitant spondylodiscitis. Mycobacterium avium was the responsible microorganism. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , e4DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2011 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
