چکیده (انگلیسی):

Infection of a vascular prosthesis after a bypass surgery is relatively rare. However,
once developed, serious complications can occur, such as bleeding, sepsis, and organ ischemia,
occasionally resulting in leg amputation or even death in some cases. The treatment of a
vascular prosthesis infection involves the necessary removal of the infected graft; subsequently,
an extra-anatomical bypass surgery is often considered. We herein report a case in
which postoperative methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection caused dehiscence
of the femoral vessels and exposure of the graft vessel and anastomosed area. The infected tissue
was surgically removed (debridement), and the patient’s condition was successfully treated
by the application of a nonadherent dressing and vacuum-assisted closure therapy combined
with the bridging technique.
