Perigraft Hygromas- Is There a Genetic Component?

Abstract

Perigraft hygroma is a known complication of prosthetic graft implantation. This rare complication has been most commonly associated with the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts. The specific etiology of perigraft hygromas is still unknown. We report two brothers who underwent open AAA repairs with PTFE grafts that developed progressively enlarging perigraft hygromas.
