Description A group of 12 patients (10 men, 2 women; average age, 52.7 years; range, 50-79 years) with vascular prosthetic graft infection (n=9) or with an increased risk of such infection (n=3) underwent arterial aorto-ilio-femoral reconstruction using autogenous superficial femoral vein. None of the patients died or had to have revision surgery during the follow-up (mean+- SD, 14.1+-7.3 months; range, 3 - 27 months). No pulmonary embolism occurred, nor were any early or late complications such as recurrent infection, graft occlusion, limb amputation or aneurysmal dilatation of vein graft recorded. In one patient, benign oedema of the limb following deep vein harvest persists, but this is well managed with a compression stocking. Conclusion: The use of autogenous femoral vein gives very good results in the treatment of an infected vascular prosthetic graft, one of the most feared and most serious complications of vascular surgery.
