title: Treatment for abdominal aortic graft infection: irrigation with electrolyzed strong aqueous acid, in-situ grafting, and omentoplasty.
abstract: We report on successful surgical treatment of consecutive three patients with infection of an abdominal aortic graft, Therapy involved a combination of removal of the infected graft, elaborate debridement, irrigation with electrolyzed strongly acidic aqueous solution (ESAAS), in-situ regrafting, and omentoplasty. The use of ESAAS is discussed.
