Key result
Standardized treatment for prosthetic aortic graft infection remains undefined across 15 years of evidence.
Why the study?
Standardized treatment methods for prosthetic aortic graft infection remain undefined due to its diverse clinical forms, varying microbial virulence, patient responses to sepsis, and differing clinic expertise.
This review of over 40 publications from the past 15 years highlights that standardized treatment methods for prosthetic aortic graft infection remain undefined due to clinical heterogeneity and varying clinic expertise.

Multifactorial aortic graft infection risk warrants heightened perioperative vigilance; review leaves open need for prospective diagnostic validation trials.
The article discusses various causes of prosthetic infection affecting synthetic aortic grafts in patients who have undergone vascular reconstruction using synthetic vascular prostheses. Considered a highly dangerous complication, this infection is regarded as a process with multifactorial pathogenesis resulting from the combined impact of intraoperative factors and patient risk factors. All established methods of laboratory and instrumental diagnosis of this complication are discussed; clinical classifications are also provided in accordance with the recommendations of the Management of Aortic Graft Infection Collaboration (MAGIC). Standardized methods for treating patients with prosthetic infection remain undefined due to the diversity of its clinical forms, which are associated with the extent of the process, the virulence of the microbial agent, the patient's response to the septic process, and the varying levels of expertise among clinics providing care to patients with this pathology. Accordingly, this study aims to review more than 40 publications on the causes of prosthetic aortic graft infection, diagnostic methods, and comprehensive treatment over the past 15 years.
