[Postoperative computed tomography control of allogeneic vascular prostheses].
33 CT-studies of 26 patients with alloplastic vascular prostheses were evaluated and compared with postoperative digital subtraction-angiography in 16 cases. 13 patients had no pathologic findings confirmed by further clinical development. In 4 cases bypass infection was diagnosed, which CT findings were perigraft gas (2/4), perigraft fluid (4/4), cm-enhancement (4/4) and fistulas (2/4). 10-21 d. post.-op. sterile hematomas were found in 3 patients. Further 3 cases had 5 weeks-2 post.-op. perigraft seromas. CT was method of first choice for diagnostic of perivascular alterations after bypass surgery. DSA was complementary to CT and should be performed to detect vascular complications.
