Popis: Aortic infection is a challenging condition. Fortunately, surgical revision of infected aorta with in situ reconstruction can provide long-term cure. The material for aortic repair remains an area of debate. The Omniflow II (LeMaitre Vascular, Burlington, Mass) prosthesis is a biosynthetic graft made to resist long-term degeneration and allows growth of host tissue with reduction of the risk of arterial infection. It has already been used for peripheral bypass with very low infection rates. Herein, we describe an original case of first-line native aorta replacement by a straight Omniflow II biologic prosthesis for infected aortic aneurysm. Keywords: Aorta, Infection, Biosynthetic graft
