title: [Treatment of an infected vascular prosthesis by irrigation-suction (lavage)].
abstract: The number of the infections of vascular prosthesises is more and more increasing in the past few years, in connection with the developing of vascular surgery. In our clinic, all septical complications amount to a 2-3% of the total number of reconstructive vascular interventions (8). In a period of 01. 01. 1980-06. 30. 1988 lavage procedure was performed in 19 cases. In 14 patients a primary wound healing was available, in 2 patients after moving away of the original prosthesis, an extra-anatomical bypass was necessary, and in three patients we could not avoid amputation. The above mentioned method is known in the literature since 1959, but in spite of this, there are few publications--with few cases--about this topic. The authors emphasize the relatively good results of this simple method.
