Summary

Introduction:
Removal of infected vascular prosthesis from aortofemoral or femoropopliteal positions may be technically demanding due to their strong fibrous attachment to surrounging tissues.

Material and Methods:
The authors describe a simple method of vascular prosthesis inversion and removal from the fibrous tissue using instrumentation for tunelization.

Discussion:
The authors successfully used the method in a patient with firmly attached and thrombotized vascular prosthesis.

Conclusion:
The procedure reduced duration of the procedure and resulted in reduced traumatization of the surrounding tissue.

Key words:
vascular prosthesis infection – removal
