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.
