Self Made Bovine Pericardial Tube Grafts in Aortic Infection: A European Multicentre Study

CONCLUSION: This multicentre study demonstrates low re-infection rates when using self made bovine pericardial grafts, comparable to those of other biological grafts. The rate of graft complications, mainly anastomotic aneurysms and stenoses, was low, while graft degeneration was absent. Self made bovine pericardial tube grafts are an excellent tool for in situ reconstruction in the setting of native aortic infection or aortic graft infection.PMID:38341175 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2024.02.004
