“…In 1984, Hargrove et al 12) reported successful infection control by omental filling without removal of infected prosthetic grafts. The results of a similar approach reported by Coselli et al 1,3,13) were favorable, as represented by an 88% early survival rate and no recurrence. Nakajima et al 14) took the same approach using povidone iodine packing and reported both a 100% survival rate and a 100% recurrence prevention rate.…”

A 52-year-old male patient with a history of total arch replacement using the elephant trunk technique for acute aortic dissection 4 years before visited our hospital with the chief complaint of persistent fever. Chest computed tomography (CT) suggested prosthetic vascular graft infection, which was treated surgically after chemotherapy. The first surgery consisted of debridement of an abscess around the vascular graft and in the aorta around the elephant trunk, and thoracic descending aorta replacement and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) in view of the risk of bleeding from the peripheral region of the elephant trunk. One week later, omental filling was performed as the second step. This is a very rare case of aortic abscess around the elephant trunk that could successfully be managed by graft-conserving treatment.

“…Careful follow‐up after the first operation is essential in order to detect new onset cardiovascular manifestations. The use of imaging techniques, therefore, is necessary 12,13 . The estimated mean survival in our analysis around eight years stresses the importance of postoperative surveillance.…”
