Staged complex reconstruction of infected thoracic aortic endograft and adjacent spinal hardware using latissimus wrapped lateral aortic graft.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) enables rapid and effective treatment of life-threatening aortic injuries. The occurrence of long-term complications from TEVAR and their management is ill-defined in young patients. This report describes a complex case of a 38-year-old male patient who underwent staged interventions for different acute pathologies instigated by blunt thoracic spinal trauma. The patient was initially treated with a TEVAR for aortic pseudoaneurysm in the setting of infected spinal hardware, which later resulted in an aortobronchial fistula and eroded spinal hardware. This report illustrates a successful multidisciplinary approach for definitive treatment with graft explant and aortic reconstruction.
