| Popis: | Innominate artery grafts are often utilized in pediatric cardiac surgery and very rarely lead to complications, including infection. Here, we present a unique case of an infant who underwent repair of coarctation of the aorta and hypoplastic arch using a Gore-Tex graft for antegrade cerebral perfusion. The graft subsequently became infected with Pseudomonas and formed a pseudoaneurysm with resultant tracheal compression. The presentation, diagnosis, and management of this mycotic pseudoaneurysm are described. |
