The prophylactic activity of amoxycillin/clavulanate and cefoxitin in vascular surgery--a randomized clinical study

Abstract

In a randomized clinical study, 141 patients who had to undergo operations on the aorta or the main arteries received either amoxycillin/clavulanate or cefoxitin perioperatively for prophylaxis. As no wound infection occurred amoxycillin/clavulanate and cefoxitin were found to be equal in effectiveness.
