Stent Graft Infection in the Lower Limb

AbstractBackground : Pore wound healing can occur after limb amputation.Case Report : We describe the case of a patient with a persistent fistula after below-knee amputation. The fistula is maintained due to an infected stent graft. After removal of the stent graft and adequate antibiotic treatment the wounds healed and extended amputation was avoided.Conclusion : The diagnosis of stent graft infection is challenging and requires aggressive treatment to prevent further amputation.
