“…The technique of FPV harvest has been described in detail elsewhere. 13,14 Briefly, the vein is exposed in the subsartorial canal through an incision over the lateral border of the sartorius muscle. After ligation of side branches, the vein is left in situ until a measurement of required length can be performed.…”

We encountered a rare case of infection in a vascular graft created using the elephant trunk technique. A 65-year-old woman who underwent total arch replacement with the elephant trunk technique was re-admitted with fever. She developed embolization of multiple organs from vegetation attached to the elephant trunk graft which was elucidated by transesophageal echocardiography. Surgery for ruptured jejunal artery aneurysm was performed, and the graft infection healed after long-term antibiotic therapy with the prosthesis left in situ. Graft infection may generate vegetations on an elephant trunk graft. Transesophageal echocardiography is a helpful tool for accurate diagnosis.
