- Abstract:
- The implantation of covered stents or stentgrafts has increased greatly in the last few years for the endovascular reconstruction of arterial aneurysms. We report of three patients experiencing severe septic complications after stentgraft implantation. Endovascular stentgraft infection is a serious complication with high morbidity and mortality. General antibiotic prophylaxis seems to be indicated when implanting stentgrafts.
