IntroductionTreatment of an infected aortic prosthesis is difficult and the ideal graft material is subject to debate.ReportA case of infected aortic prosthesis treated using bilateral thrombosed superficial femoral veins (SFVs) is presented. Bilateral reversed SFVs were cut longitudinally at both proximal ends about 3–4 cm and were sutured side by side. The operating time was 5 h. No sign of recurrent infection was observed when the patient suffered a myocardial infarction and died 6 months post-operatively.DiscussionThrombosed SFVs may be considered as a therapeutic option for infected aortic graft replacement.
