Open surgical repair of mycotic aneurysm is associated with a high surgical morbidity and mortality. Endovascualr graft management of thoracic aortic aneurysm has been associated with a less surgical risk. The role of endovascular graft repair of mycotic aneurysm remains controversial since graft material remains in contact with possible infected tissue. We report the marked thrombosis and marked regression of a thoracic mycotic aneurysm with an endovascular graft at mid-term follow-up.
