Efficacy of antiseptic impregnation of aortic endografts with rifampicin compared to silver against in vitro contamination with four bacteria that frequently cause vascular graft infections
Objective: This in vitro study investigates the antimicrobial efficacy of impregnation of commercially available aortic endografts (EG) with rifampicin (RIF) and nanocolloidal silver.
