We report sterile peri-graft abscess formation following an ascending aortic and hemiarch replacement for acute type A aortic dissection, possibly caused as a reaction to BioGlue. The patient was successfully treated by drainage, cleaning, removal of BioGlue remnants, three sessions of negative-pressure wound dressing, and secondary chest closure.

We describe the case of a 68-year-old man who underwent ascending aortic replacement and thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Four years later, the patient developed neck pain on the right side and chest computed tomography showed expansion of fluid in the mediastinum which had extended to the neck. Echocardiography revealed advanced severity of aortic regurgitation and decreased ejection fraction.

Article Synopsis
- Vascular graft infections (VGIs) pose significant health risks, and improving microbial identification is crucial for effective treatment.
- A study analyzed 22 patients with VGIs, using sonication and culture techniques to identify causative organisms; success rates for identifying pathogens were high.
- The findings suggest that sonicate fluid culture and broad-range PCR can enhance the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment, highlighting the need for further research on antibiotic timing before graft removal.
