title: [Simple method of infected vascular prosthesis removal].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Removal of infected vascular prosthesis from aortofemoral or femoropopliteal positions may be technically demanding due to their strong fibrous attachment to surrounging tissues.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors describe a simple method of vascular prosthesis inversion and removal from the fibrous tissue using instrumentation for tunelization.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The authors successfully used the method in a patient with firmly attached and thrombotized vascular prosthesis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The procedure reduced duration of the procedure and resulted in reduced traumatization of the surrounding tissue.
