    Vascular graft and endograft infections (VGEI) are rare but pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly abdominal VGEI (aVGEI).

  • 2

    Diagnosis of VGEI requires comprehensive evaluation, including clinical, laboratory, and radiological examinations, often supported by intraoperative evidence.

  • 3

    Treatment of VGEI typically involves prolonged antibiotic therapy and complex surgery, with graft explantation often necessary for definitive cure.

  • 4

    This study conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of aVGEI patients in Eastern Denmark, focusing on multidisciplinary team management and treatment outcomes.

  • 5

    The primary outcome measured was 90-day mortality, with secondary outcomes including disease cure, remission, treatment failure, and one-year mortality.
