title: [Surgical tactics in prosthesis related vascular graft infections].
abstract: The outcomes of treatment of patients with purulent wound complications and infection of vascular grafts after plastic surgery on terminal part of the aorta and major arteries of the lower extremities are analyzed depending on the tactics and timing of the surgery. Minimal lethality was registered in re-do surgery in the infected grafts performed in 2 or 3 stages, with the use of antibacterial prosthesis SISAN. This provides an opportunity to eliminate recurrence of infective complications.
