Popis: A 72 years-old man was admitted with fever and cough. He had undergone aortic arch graft replacement with elephant trunk and endovascular stent graft for distal arch aortic aneurysm 1 year ago. Additionally, he had treated type I endoleak with an endovascular stent graft 3 month previously. Computed tomography showed soft tissue around the aneurysm and visible gas bubble within intramural thrombus, and he was diagnosed with stent graft infection. The stent graft was removed and aortic reconstruction was performed using bovine pericardial roll grafts. The grafts were covered with the greater omentum. He was discharged on the 48th postoperative day, and was alive and well 4 years after the operation.
