Primary mycotic aneurysms and prosthetic graft infections are traditionally managed by resection of infected vascular tissue and revascularisation with an extra‐anatomical bypass. Long‐term patency for this method has been reported to be poor with associated high reinfection and limb amputation rates. The aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of those patients in our department between 2010 and 2018 whom had revascularisation with in‐situ arterial reconstruction using cryopreserved allograft as a conduit.
