Abstract
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.
