Comparison of therapies for prosthetic vascular graft infections with respect to the location of the graft.*

PVGI = prosthetic vascular graft infection; IQR = interquartile range*Percentages, IQR values, and ranges indicate relationship to the total number of patients within each respective group, not to the total number of patients included in the study.†A p-value ≤0.050 was considered significant.‡In patients with at least one surgical revision of their graft.§Application of negative pressure to the local wound environment using a sealed foam dressing connected to a vacuum pump.**Adequate empirical therapy according to the susceptibility testing of the respective isolated pathogen.††Total duration of both empirical and pathogen-specific antimicrobial therapy.‡‡Percentages apply to the total number of patients who were alive at one year within each respective group.Comparison of therapies for prosthetic vascular graft infections with respect to the location of the graft.*
