Abstract

The surgical management of aortic prosthesis infection remains an enormous challenge for the vascular surgeon and a critical issue for the patient’s well-being and life. Several techniques for its management have been devised and employed over the years, but none of them has been totally satisfactory. Thus new alternatives are needed. We present the clinical case of an infected aortic prosthesis in a 41-year-old man that was complicated by duodenal and ureteral erosion. The autologous superficial femoral artery was used successfully in the treatment of this most demanding situation.
