Abstrakt: An 81-year-old Japanese man who had distal aortic arch dilatation at age 77 had thoracic endovascular aortic surgery. The patient developed a fever and was taken to the hospital. Reduced diffusion in the descending aortic wall along the stent graft was discovered using whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging with background body signal suppression, and stent-graft infection was identified. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene analysis and blood culture results identified Campylobacter insulaenigrae as the etiological bacterial species. The patient was released from the hospital after 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment since the swelling and inflammatory response had decreased.
