Abstract
Innominate artery grafts are often utilized in pediatric cardiac surgery and very rarely lead to complications, including infection. Here, we present a unique case of an infant who underwent repair of coarctation of the aorta and hypoplastic arch using a GORE-TEX graft (W. L. Gore and Associates, Newark, DE) for antegrade cerebral perfusion. The graft subsequently became infected with Pseudomonas and formed a pseudoaneurysm with resultant tracheal compression. The presentation, diagnosis, and management of this mycotic pseudoaneurysm are described.
