In this video, Prof Xavier Bérard (University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux, FR) discusses the antimicrobial Intergard Synergy graft (Getinge) as an alternative solution for the in-situ reconstruction (ISR) of native or aortic graft infections (AGI) when biological methods are not possible.

He describes the protocols identifying the key cohorts who would benefit the most from antimicrobial grafts.
