Abstract
Objective: This review aimed to evaluate the use of Omniflow II biosynthetic grafts for infra-inguinal vascular reconstruction in infected fields.
Data sources: A systematic literature search (Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library) following PRISMA guidelines was performed (Prospero registration number CRD420251000785).
Review methods: All English full text studies from 1989 - 2024 reporting on infra-inguinal vascular reconstruction using an Omniflow II in an infected field were included. Cases series and cohorts with fewer than five patients were excluded from the pooled analysis. The primary outcome was freedom from re-infection at one year and three years. Secondary outcomes were 30 day all cause mortality, survival, primary and secondary patency, freedom from amputation, and aneurysmal degeneration. Statistical analysis was conducted using Prometa 3.0 and OpenMeta software. Evidence certainty for key outcomes was assessed using GRADE.
Results: Six studies (116 patients) were included in the quantitative synthesis. Overall risk of bias was low in four studies and high in two studies. Freedom from re-infection was 90% (95% confidence interval [CI] 82 - 95%) at one year and 76% (95% CI 47 - 92%) at three years. All cause 30 day mortality was 4% (95% CI 0 - 10%). Survival was 93% (95% CI 86 - 97%) at one year and 87% (95% CI 73 - 95%) at three years. Primary patency was 76% (95% CI 66 - 83%) at one year and 68% (95% CI 56 - 77%) at three years. Secondary patency was 83% (95% CI 74 - 89%) at one year and 77% (95% CI 65 - 86%) at three years. Freedom from amputation was 89% (95% CI 82 - 94%) at one year and 88% (95% CI 77 - 94%) at three years. No aneurysmal degeneration was reported. GRADE certainty was low or very low for all outcomes.
Conclusion: The Omniflow II graft offers an off the shelf solution for infra-inguinal reconstructions in infected fields when there is no option for autologous vein. Larger prospective cohorts are needed to further validate its effectiveness.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery is aimed primarily at vascular surgeons dealing with patients with arterial, venous and lymphatic diseases. Contributions are included on the diagnosis, investigation and management of these vascular disorders. Papers that consider the technical aspects of vascular surgery are encouraged, and the journal includes invited state-of-the-art articles.
Reflecting the increasing importance of endovascular techniques in the management of vascular diseases and the value of closer collaboration between the vascular surgeon and the vascular radiologist, the journal has now extended its scope to encompass the growing number of contributions from this exciting field. Articles describing endovascular method and their critical evaluation are included, as well as reports on the emerging technology associated with this field.
