Preventing infection in synthetic blood vessel grafts
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special cleansing solution during surgery can lower the chance of infection in new synthetic blood vessel grafts. If you are having surgery to place a graft in your belly or leg arteries, this study may help improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to place a synthetic (man-made) graft in the blood vessels of your belly or legs, either as an emergency or planned procedure.
- You are able to give your own permission to be in the study, and you understand English.
- Your surgery will be an open operation (not a minimally invasive one).

This study looks at how the body responds to infections in artificial blood vessels (vascular grafts or endografts). It may help understand why some people get infections and how to better treat them.
This trial tests a special glue that is applied over the stitches after heart or blood vessel surgery. The glue may help stop bleeding from the stitch holes, which could reduce complications. Participants will be followed for about 3 months after their surgery.
This trial is studying patients with infections in blood vessels, whether natural or from a graft, to better understand and treat them.
This study collects information from people who have or might have infections in their blood vessels or in artificial tubes (grafts) placed in their blood vessels. The study will look at how these infections are treated and what outcomes patients have, to help improve future care.
This trial studies whether a newer “tissue-engineered” blood vessel graft is safe and works well in children who need a specific heart surgery connection outside the heart. It may help by offering a new type of graft, but your team will screen for size and medical factors first.
This trial tests a solution used to clean the surgical site during spine surgeries to see if it helps prevent infections. It is for patients having certain types of spine surgery for conditions like deformity, cancer, or trauma.
