Abstract
As surveillance and the diagnosis of pathology grow, increasing numbers of patients are undergoing major aortic interventions globally. As a result, surgeons and physicians will encounter thoracic aortic graft infections with increasing frequency. These infections are extremely challenging, high-risk problems to deal with. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management both medical and surgical of this high-risk complication. We provide proposed diagnostic criteria and suggested algorithm for the management of this important group of patients.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiac Surgery (JCS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to contemporary surgical treatment of cardiac disease. Renown for its detailed "how to" methods, JCS''s well-illustrated, concise technical articles, critical reviews and commentaries are highly valued by dedicated readers worldwide.
With Editor-in-Chief Harold Lazar, MD and an internationally prominent editorial board, JCS continues its 20-year history as an important professional resource. Editorial coverage includes biologic support, mechanical cardiac assist and/or replacement and surgical techniques, and features current material on topics such as OPCAB surgery, stented and stentless valves, endovascular stent placement, atrial fibrillation, transplantation, percutaneous valve repair/replacement, left ventricular restoration surgery, immunobiology, and bridges to transplant and recovery.
In addition, special sections (Images in Cardiac Surgery, Cardiac Regeneration) and historical reviews stimulate reader interest. The journal also routinely publishes proceedings of important international symposia in a timely manner.
