ABSTRACT
Negative pressure wound therapy with intermittent instillation, especially with the addition of antibiotics in the case of infection, is a versatile treatment modality for the closure of wounds and can be used both primarily after débridement and secondarily after failure of muscle flap coverage. We present a case in which negative pressure wound therapy with intermittent instillation of rifampin was used to successfully close a groin wound secondary to an infected prosthetic vascular graft that initially failed to close with a muscle flap. Consideration of this approach to wound closure and graft salvage is important because of the seriousness and relatively common incidence of prosthetic vascular graft infection after infrainguinal arterial bypass revascularization.
