Abstract

We report a comorbid patient after redo Frozen Elephant Trunk procedure followed by recurrent infection of thoracic aortic prosthesis, deep sternal wound infection and extensive soft tissue defect. Closure with skin-muscle thoracodorsal flap and graft-sparing technique with omentoplasty is an alternative to total graft replacement for thoracic aortic graft infection in comorbid patients with concomitant extensive defect of the chest wall or recurrent infection in early postoperative period.
