Сосудистые протезы с противомикробным покрытием: экспериментальные разработки и внедрение в клиническую практику

Prosthetic vascular graft infections, followed by severe complications and high mortality rates, remain one of the main issues in cardiovascular surgery. Therefore, the development of antimicrobial coating for vascular prostheses that is capable of preventing the infection is a very relevant field. This review outlines the main factors of development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the main directions in the development of vascular prostheses with an antimicrobial coating, and the prospects for the application of antimicrobial peptides and cationic amphiphiles as antimicrobial coating to develop an infection-resistant vascular prosthesis.
