  • Title: Composite vein graft reconstruction for infected descending aortic prosthesis.
    Author: Okamoto H, Tamenishi A, Matsumura Y, Niimi T.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2012 Jun; 93(6):2061-3. PubMed ID: 22632507.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of successful in situ replacement with a superficial femoropopliteal vein panel graft for Dacron graft infection of the thoracic aorta. A 75-year-old man presented with septicemia and pseudoaneurysm caused by methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus 2 years after Dacron graft replacement of the mid-descending aortic aneurysm. The patient underwent in situ replacement with a panel graft constructed of 3 deep vein panels after excision of the infected Dacron graft. The patient is free of infection and doing well over 2 years after surgery.
