Issa Al-Khdour, Amro AlAqra, Moath Nairat, Nadine Yaghi
TL;DR
A rare case of periaortic graft infection after aortic surgery was successfully managed without removing the original graft.
Contribution
This case report presents a unique management approach for a rare post-surgical complication.
Findings
A 46-year-old male developed a periaortic graft abscess four months after aortic surgery.
The original graft was successfully preserved through appropriate treatment.
This case highlights the rarity and management challenges of periaortic graft infections.
Abstract
Periaortic graft infections are a dangerous and extremely rare subtype of aortic graft infections (AGI). We hereby report a unique case of periaortic graft abscess in a 46-year-old male four months following a supracoronary ascending aorta replacement for DeBakey Type 2 dissection, resulting in the successful preservation of the original graft.
