DiscussionOpen stent grafting used for aortic arch aneurysms, first reported by Kato and colleagues, 2 has several advantages over a conventional synthetic replacement. Substitution of a stent graft placement for a distal anastomosis has reduced the operative risk, operative time, bleeding, and injury to adjacent organs. There are 2 main surgical strategies for mycotic aortic aneurysms: aortic exclusion and extra-anatomic bypass or surgical replacement of in situ grafts with a surgical resection of the infected tissue, including the aneurysm. However, there is no definite consensus on the surgical therapy. There have been no reports in which open stent grafting was used in mycotic aortic arch aneurysms. However, there are a few reports in which good results without surgical resection with endovascular stent grafting were obtained in spite of active infections. 3, 4 However, we abandoned the endovascular stent grafting in this patient because the aortic aneurysm included the origin of the left subclavian artery.
