Core Tip
Core Tip: Artificial vascular graft infected with Acinetobacter baumannii is extremely rare in the clinic and continues to be a significant challenge for clinicians. Vacuum sealing drainage technique and rectus femoris muscle flap transposition are of great value in patients presenting with a severe infected groin wound with biological vascular graft Acinetobacter baumannii infection resulting in graft exposure extensively.
