The vacuum-assisted closure (V.A.C®) system for surgical site infection with involved vascular grafts.

CONCLUSION: We showed that the V.A.C.® system is valuable for managing specifically surgical site infection with involved vascular grafts. Using the V.A.C.® system, reoperation rates are reduced; 85% of patients avoided graft replacement. PMID: 24879657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
