Femoral Endarterectomy

Download Case Study PDF

Patient History

Patient is a 71-year-old male who presented to the emergency department (ED) with a post-operative groin infection* following a right common femoral endarterectomy that was performed two weeks prior. The patient has a past medical history of diabetes mellitus..

Treatment

The patient was taken to the operating room for exploration of the affected area. An irrigation and debridement (I&D) was performed to remove any of the resultant infection that was present around the common femoral artery and previously placed bovine patch. Once all infection was removed via I&D, Restrata^® Sheet was placed below the subcutaneous layer of the incision and Restrata MiniMatrix^® was applied to the tunneling and undermining aspects of the surgically created defect.

Conclusion

The previous reconstruction was salvaged without the need for further arterial reconstruction. The groin incision healed successfully without removal or replacement of the bovine patch. Restrata was able to persist in the wound bed long enough to support soft tissue formation. The patient was
seen for follow-up one month following surgery. The groin incision had healed successfully, without evidence of additional infection, dehiscence or seroma formation.

INTRA-OPERATIVE

Application of Restrata at the groin incision

*Infection was controlled and no longer present at time of Restrata application. Restrata MiniMatrix is indicated for wound management only and not soft tissue reinforcement. Please refer to the Instructions for Use for a full list of indications, contraindications, precautions, and warnings. Restrata has not been studied in wounds that extend into the tendon, muscle, joint capsule, or bone.
