Abstract

Prosthetic arteriovenous grafts are used in chronic hemodialysis patients when auto--genous arteriovenous fistulas fail, or in case of inconvenient vascular status. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts are commonly used for this purpose. Graft thrombosis and infection are frequentlyencountered in those prosthetic grafts. Those complications cause vascular access failure, and mayinterrupt routine maintenance of hemodialysis process. Graft infection may progress to more serious morbidities such as bacteremia and sepsis. In this paper, we report an uncommon presentation of an infected PTF graft that protruded outside the skin.

Özet

Prostetik arteriovenöz greftler, kronik hemodiyaliz hastalarında, otojen arteriovenöz fistü--lün durduğu veya vasküler yapının uygun olmadığı durumlarda endikedir. Politetrafloroetilen(PTFE) greftler bu amaçla yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu prostetik greftlerde greft trombozuve greft enfeksiyonu sıkça görülür. Bu komplikasyonlar vasküler girişimi bozarak, rutin hemodiyalizsürecinin kesintiye uğramasına yol açabilirler. Greft enfeksiyonu ilerleyip bakteriyemi ve sepsise yolaçarak, daha ciddi morbiditeye sebep olabilir. Bu yazıda, alışılmadık bir şekilde cildin dışına çıkanenfekte bir PTFE greft rapor edilmektedir.
