a case-report

Neal Moores, Christopher Pannucci

University of Utah

Salvage of infected vascular bypass grafts continues to present one of the most complex reconstructive
algorithms for both vascular, and plastic surgeons. Graft infection necessitates graft explantation and
extra-anatomic bypass, most often with additional synthetic material. These multiply comorbid patients
suffer long periods of convalescence in the ICU with attendant bed-rest, ventilator dependency and sepsis.
The omentum is an established and effective source of intra-abdominal coverage for gastrointestinal and
urological anastomoses, as well as vascular graft coverage. The omentum is also an established method
for coverage of extra-abdominal pathology and as a free flap it may be used in any location. However, its
use as a pedicled flap for extra-abdominal reconstruction has hitherto been largely limited to chest wall
reconstruction.
