Abstract

The use of extra-anatomic bypasses for the hybrid repair of thoracic aortic pathologies should consider the risk of vascular graft infection. Graft infections at cervical level are extremely rare and are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. We report 2 cases of infected extra-anatomic bypasses for supra-aortic vessels debranching treated with a hybrid approach: re-extra-anatomical bypass with the Viabahn Open Revascularization Technique (VORTEC) in the first patient and the EndoVAC approach in the second case. Endovascular techniques may offer bail-out solutions in a hybrid fashion to treat vascular graft infection in patients considered unfeasible for the conventional surgical repair, associated with appropriate antibiotic therapy.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
