    AbstractThe experience with the cefamandole prophylaxis in 244 patients with open heart-surgery, and another 84 patients operated upon on prosthetic vascular reconstruction was evaluated. No case of endocarditis, sepsis or massive wound infection with infected prosthesis was found in the reviewed patients. Considering the fact that patients undergoing open heart-surgery and prosthetic vascular reconstruction are subjected to much more bacterial contamination than patients undergoing any other surgical procedure, the cephalosporin treatment (in our study cefamandole) should be considered the antibiotic of choice in preventing of infection during and after such surgical intervention.
