  • Title: Extra-anatomical bypass to treat aortic endograft infection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
    Author: Tang Y, Han L, Fan X, Zhang B, Zhang J, Xue Q, Xu Z.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2020 Apr 01; 30(4):620-622. PubMed ID: 32025739.
    Abstract:
    This study aimed to report the case of 7 consecutive patients who underwent surgical treatment for aortic endograft infection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The management included the reconstruction of aorta using extra-anatomic prosthetic graft bypass (between the ascending aorta and the abdominal aorta), removal of the infected endograft with debridement of the infected tissue and sac drainage, followed by prolonged antibiotic therapy. This brief communication highlights that the reconstruction of aorta using extra-anatomic prosthetic graft bypass during surgical treatment for aortic endograft infection after TEVAR was reliable and effective.
