Abstract
A 60-year-old male patient presented with a false aneurysm of the common iliac artery and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus septicemia complicating previously placed kissing covered stents of the aortic bifurcation. We removed the prosthetic material and repaired the aortic bifurcation with a composite saphenous vein panel graft. To our knowledge, this technique is presented for the first time in the literature.
