Popis: We describe an hybrid approach for aortic pseudoaneurysm with open and endovascular treatment as an alternative treatment for a high-risk patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus. A 42-year-old man, serum positive for human immunodeficiency virus, presented, with a large pseudoaneurysm of the arch aorta measuring 61 × 70 mm. An aortic arch debranching was performed, completed by thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. A control computed tomography scan performed 3 months later showed a complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm. The outcome of this treatment, particularly regarding the rate of infection, is yet to be determined, Longer follow-up is needed with a greater of patients.
