Explantation of an Infected TEVAR With an Extra-Anatomic Arch Reconstruction Along the Right Heart.

This case represents the disease progression and workup of an infected thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) graft that initially manifested as an aortic arch pseudoaneurysm. The patient underwent a 2-stage operation to resect the infected TEVAR and to reconstruct flow via an extra-anatomic aortic bypass paralleling the right heart. This is one of the few documented cases of TEVAR explantation with an extra-anatomic aortic bypass to re-establish flow.
