Perigraft seroma after axillo-femoral bypass: a clinical case

Abstract

Perigraft seroma is a very rare complication following vascular operations, exceptionally extraanatomic bypass. It defines as sterile fluide around artificial graft with no signs of inflammation. Potentially perigraft seroma can lead to graft infection. Here we are reporting a clinical case of a patient after axillo-femoral bypass successfully treated by combination of antibiotics, dexamethazone and clemastine.

Keywords:perigraft seroma; axillofemoral bypass; artificial vascular graft
