Abstrakt: A 6-year-old boy with a previous history of intracardiac correction of a partial atrioventricular canal defect presented with infective endocarditis. Despite antibiotic therapy and reoperation, he developed a mycotic abdominal aneurysm. In situ aortoiliac reconstruction with a prosthesis and an omental flap was performed. At follow-up after 2 $${\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$}\kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em\lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}}$$ years there were no signs of prosthetic infection or problems with the anastomoses.
