ABSTRACT
Two cases of Aspergillus fumigatus infection of aortobifemoral prosthetic grafts are reported. Both patients were treated successfully by excision of the infected prosthetic material, axillofemoral extra-anatomic bypass, and prolonged medical treatment. The patients received amphotericin B, 5-flucytosine and itraconazole until negative aspergillus serology was obtained (at 9 and 18 months, respectively). Later, repeat disobliteration procedures for thrombosis of the axillofemoral bypass were required. No recurrent aspergillus infection was found.
