1 Successful treatment of ascending aortic graft infection after operation for acute aortic dissection with peripheral malperfusion  Masaaki Kato, MD, Kazuhito Imanaka, MD, Shunei Kyo, MD, Hiroshi Ohuchi, MD, Haruhiko Asano, MD, Shinichi Takamoto, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 77, Issue 6, Pages (June 2004) DOI: /S (03)

2 Fig 1 Initial operation for acute type A aortic dissection with peripheral malperfusion. (A) Replacement of the ascending aorta with a graft placement of ascending graft (AG) and bypass graft from the AG to the right femoral artery (A–F) were performed. (B) After the diagnosis of mediastintis with graft infection was made, a stent (S) was inserted into the true lumen of the narrowed thoracoabdominal aorta (N) and then the A–Z graft was removed. (C) Finally the AG was replaced with a cryopreserved homograft (H), and the mediastinitis healed. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )
