  • Title: Persistent root abscess after emergency repair with an aortic homograft.
    Author: Ritter M, von Segesser L, Jenni R.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1994 Nov; 72(5):495-7. PubMed ID: 7818972.
    Abstract:
    A fifty eight year old man with Marfan's syndrome and an aortic composite graft with a Björk-Shiley mechanical prosthesis presented with a large aortic root abscess caused by Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. Despite extensive surgical debridement and implantation of an aortic homograft as a composite graft, early postoperative transoesophageal echocardiography continued to demonstrate a large aortic root abscess and the patient died in a septic shock.
