Abstract
xplantation of an infected patent vascular graft does not necessarily require concomitant revascularization procedures. The need for revascularization can be determined by a trial cross-clamping of the graft and clinical assessment of limb perfusion. We report a case of an infected axillofemoral graft transgressing the chest wall in a surgically high risk patient.
