D. Excision of the entire graft and insertion of axillobifemoral grafts.

DISCUSSION: Many forms of management have been tried and occasionally recommended. The most appropriate treatment for most patients with an infected graft is removal of the entire graft, closure of the iliac or femoral arteries distal to the insertion of the graft, and placement of axillobifemoral grafts.
