Abstract:
Prosthetic aortic graft infection is a dreaded complication associated with high mortality. Some of the best results have been achieved with removal of the infected prosthesis, although this is not always possible in the case of the thoracic aorta. A patient with an infected coarctation graft managed by aortic rerouting is described here.
