The infection of the vascular graft prosthesis occurs in every 1 in 500 people, under such circumstance the removal of the graft is needed. [15] Graft infection is strongly associated with high morbidity and mortality. An obvious sign of a graft infection is the drainage of the sinus tract. [15] Diabetes mellitus and redoing of the bypass graft ...
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI), also known as peri-prosthetic joint infection, is an acute, sub-acute or chronic infection of a prosthetic joint. It may occur in ...
Aortic graft infections occur in 1-5% of aortic prosthetic placements. It can result in limb amputation, pseudo-aneurysm formation, septic emboli, aorto-enteric fistulae, septic shock and death. The most frequently involved pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus, and coagulase-negative staphylococci, followed by Enterobacterales and uncommon ...
Prosthetic: Lost tissue is replaced with synthetic materials such as metal, plastic, or ceramic (prosthetic implants). [4] Allografts, xenografts, and prosthetic grafts are usually used as temporary skin substitutes, that is a wound dressing for preventing infection and fluid loss.

The four main types of tissue transplantation are xenotransplantation, allotransplantation, isotransplantation and autotransplantation, while the common tissues transplanted include skin, bone, corneal and vessel grafts. [3] Tissue transplantation comes with risks and complications, including immune rejection and viral infections.
Acute graft occlusion is the occlusion (blockage) of a vascular bypass graft shortly after the bypass is performed. Its causes, which are distinct from those of chronic graft occlusion , include technical failure (e.g. anastomotic stricture, incomplete valve lysis in non-reversed vein) and thrombosis.
In infection of a prosthetic joint, a biofilm is often created on the surface of the prosthesis which is resistant to antibiotics. [29] Surgical debridement is usually indicated in these cases. [ 2 ] [ 30 ] A replacement prosthesis is usually not inserted at the time of removal to allow antibiotics to clear infection of the region.
