title: [Antibiotic prophylaxis in vascular surgery].
abstract: Vascular surgery includes various surgical procedures and sites. Infectious risk is low but with a high functional risk and a high mortality rate. Infection risk factors are numerous. Among them the incision in the Scarpa's triangle is at the first place. Antimicrobial prophylaxis in vascular surgery has shown its efficacy whatever the agent. The second generation cephalosporins are the most logical, with a duration of administration of less than 24 hours. In case of re-operation glycopeptides have shown their efficacy.
