- Abstract: Infected thoracic aortic aneurysms are rare. Standard treatment methods have not yet been established for medical treatment, timing of surgery, or surgical techniques. In this study, we report a case in which an ascending aortic reconstruction using an autologous superficial femoral artery was successfully performed for an infected pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta without the use of artificial materials. The patient was a 78-year-old man with bacteremia caused by Staphylococcus aureus and an infected pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta. The patient underwent replacement of the ascending aorta and coronary artery bypass grafting. The patient was discharged from the hospital with no recurrence of infection and no abnormality of the reconstructed aorta.
