Successful repair of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm using autograft patch from fascia lata and saphenous vein

Abstract: An 80-year-old man developed a pseudoaneurysm in the ascending aorta due to mediastinitis following cardiac surgery. We successfully repaired the pseudoaneurysm with an autograft patch harvested from fascia lata and the saphenous vein. The repair, which was carried out in two layers, can be expected to be durable.

“…An infective aortic pseudoaneurysm after a cardiac operation is a severe condition, and in repairing it, there is concern that the use of artificial substances may become the focus of a new infection. Therefore, the correction of an infective aortic pseudoaneurysm using autograft patches such as from the fascia lata has been attempted, and good outcomes have been reported 1,2 . In this case, we used the femoral artery as an autograft patch.…”

“…Therefore, the correction of an infective aortic pseudoaneurysm using autograft patches such as from the fascia lata has been attempted, and good outcomes have been reported. 1,2 In this case, we used the femoral artery as an autograft patch. Previously, the correction of a pseudoaneurysm on the ascending aorta with a femoral artery autograft was reported by Kawachi et al 3 As an advantage of using the femoral artery, we believe that good fitting with the aortic wall and the corrective effect of endothelial cells on the intima of the artery can be expected.…”
