Abstract:
A 68 year-old woman underwent replacement of the descending thoracic aorta with a cryopreserved aortic homograft for the treatment of a Stanford B dissecting aneurysm. After surgery, the patient made an uneventful recovery without recurrent infection. In such cases, the use of aortic homografts to replace aortic segments is a promising and effective therapeutic option.
