Arterial Aneurysm Repair Outcomes: Low BSI Incidence, High Long-Term Mortality

Although the incidence of bloodstream infection (BSI) is low in patients who undergo arterial aneurysm repair, long-term mortality rates are high among those who develop BSIs. These study findings were published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases. Researchers performed a population-based study to examine the incidence and outcomes of BSI following arterial aneurysm repair. Eligible patients […]
