What is Fungal versus non-fungal supra-inguinal prosthetic vascular graft infections: A cohort study about?
Objectives: Fungal prosthetic vascular graft infections are rare and mainly supra-inguinal. Current guidelines are based on the few studies that have specifically investigated this population, with few risk factors described. The objective of this study is to compare fungal and non-fungal supra-inguinal prosthetic vascular graft infections (PVGI), describing their specificities, identifying risk factors, and evaluating outcomes. Patients and Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study carried out at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, including all patients who were treated for a supra-inguinal PVGI between January 1st, 2009 and February 28th, 2021. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data were compared between fungal and non-fungal PVGI. Results: Out of the 475 patients screened, 148 developed a supra-inguinal PVGI: 32 fungal and 116 nonfungal. Factors independently associated with fungal PVGI were presence of a prostheto-digestive fistula (OR 5.98; 95% CI 2.29-15.62) and preoperative antibiotic therapy of seven days or more (OR 2.87;. Mortality rate at 180 days was significantly higher for fungal as compared to non-fungal PVGIs (38% vs. 16% p = 0.0
