ABSTRACT
We report a case of successful medical treatment for graft infection after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. A 63-year-old man with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent a prosthetic graft replacement via a retroperitoneal approach. He became febrile on the 26th postoperative day (POD). A CT scan demonstrated fluid collection around the grafts. Re-operation was performed and gross pus was found around the prosthetic graft. After all pus and nonviable tissue were removed, two irrigation tubes and a drainage tube were placed adjacent to the graft for continuous irrigation with 0.5% povidone-iodine and super-acidic solution. Inflammatory reactions were gradually improved, and the patient discharged on the 88th POD.
