    Abstract:
    Mycotic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) is an uncommon but surgically challenging problem with high morbidity and mortality rates. We describe endovascular repair of an acute mycotic AAP in a high-risk patient. A 45-year old man, HIV serum positive, chronic hepatitis HBV and HCV related, presented, after two sternotomies, with a fast growing 11 6 cm AAP that was sealed with two Gore Exluder aortic cuffs, inserted from the left axillary artery. Nine months control CT continued to show no endoleak with shrinking of the AAP.
