[Prosthetic repair of the aorta with a cadaveric homograft for infection of bifurcated synthetic vascular prosthesis].

Infection of arterial vascular grafts is a rare but utterly severe complication in vascular surgery. Therapeutic policy in patients with graft infection has not been standardized, to be determined individually. One of the variants of surgical treatment is considered to be repeat aortic repair using a cadaveric graft.

[Surgical treatment of a patient with a ruptured Crawford type III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm].

Described herein is a clinical case report regarding surgical treatment of a patient presenting with a ruptured Crawford type III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. The patient was subjected to prosthetic repair of the thoracoabdominal aorta by the Coselli technique, as well as reduction of the aneurysmal sac in the thoracic and abdominal portions according to the authors' technique. The operation was carried out with neither connecting the patient to a heart-lung machine nor use of pharmacological protection of the visceral organs.
