Severe surgical site infections (SSIs) are a frequent nosocomial complication after vascular interventions, an important cause of postoperative morbidity, and a substantial burden to the health care system. Patients undergoing arterial interventions are at elevated risk of SSIs, possibly because of the presence of several risk factors in this patient population. In this review, we examined the available clinical evidence for the prevention, treatment, and prognostication of postoperative severe SSIs after vascular exposure in the groin and other body areas. Results from studies evaluating preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative preventive strategies and several treatment options are reviewed. In addition, risk factors for surgical wound infections are analyzed in detail and related evidence from the literature is highlighted. Although several measures have been implemented over the time to prevent them, SSIs continue to pose a substantial health care and socioeconomic challenge. Therefore, strategies to decrease the risk and improve the treatment of SSIs for the highrisk vascular patient population should be the focus of continuing improvement and critical review. This review aimed at identifying and reviewing the current evidence for preventing, treating, and performing stratification according to the prognosis of postoperative severe SSIs after vascular exposure in the groin and other body areas. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

Severe surgical site infections (SSIs) are a frequent nosocomial complication after vascular interventions, an important cause of postoperative morbidity, and a substantial burden to the health care system. Patients undergoing arterial interventions are at elevated risk of SSIs, possibly because of the presence of several risk factors in this patient population. In this review, we examined the available clinical evidence for the prevention, treatment, and prognostication of postoperative severe SSIs after vascular exposure in the groin and other body areas. Results from studies evaluating preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative preventive strategies and several treatment options are reviewed. In addition, risk factors for surgical wound infections are analyzed in detail and related evidence from the literature is highlighted. Although several measures have been implemented over the time to prevent them, SSIs continue to pose a substantial health care and socioeconomic challenge. Therefore, strategies to decrease the risk and improve the treatment of SSIs for the highrisk vascular patient population should be the focus of continuing improvement and critical review. This review aimed at identifying and reviewing the current evidence for preventing, treating, and performing stratification according to the prognosis of postoperative severe SSIs after vascular exposure in the groin and other body areas. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.
