    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.
