    Abstract:
    A 63-year-old man presented to a nearby doctor with fever and lumbago. Enhanced computed tomography showed a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and enhancement of soft tissue around the aneurysm. He was diagnosed with an infected thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and given antibiotics. After 2 weeks, the infection was controlled and he underwent in situ replacement with a bovine pericardial roll graft. A week after the operation, the inflammatory reaction was increased, but the bovine pericardial roll graft was not infected. This suggests that a bovine pericardial roll graft is a suitable material for use in patients with bacterial infections.
