Endograft infection after hybrid surgery for chronic Stanford type B aortic dissection: endograft infection and treatment

Manabu Yamasaki et al. Surg Today. 2015 Dec.

Abstract

While the incidence of endograft infection is very low, the treatment is difficult when it occurs. We herein present the case of a 52-year-old male who had undergone a graft replacement in the proximal descending thoracic aorta for dissected aortic aneurysm (DA) 6 years previously and hybrid surgery 2 years previously, which consisted of an abdominal graft replacement, visceral and renal debranching surgery and endovascular surgery for a ruptured abdominal DA and residual thoracoabdominal DA. Following collapse from septic shock due to an endograft infection, we performed an in situ reconstruction of the entire thoracoabdominal aorta following intensive antibiotic therapy and 2 preoperative CT-guided percutaneous interventions. He was discharged 4 weeks after the surgery without any complications.

Keywords: Aortic operation (operation on the aorta); Endovascular procedures/stents; PCI.
