Unfortunately, clinical reports, large case-series or randomized studies are scarce or not available yet, and the optimal management of this complication is under debate. The aim of this review is collecting and analysing data on current practice and outcomes for the treatment of infected endografts after TEVAR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A search on PubMed\/MEDLINE and EMBASE for studies reporting endograft infections after TEVAR was conducted up to January 2023.
