Using Fascia Lata to Treat Infective Aortic False Aneurysm

In patients with infective aortic false aneurysms, repair using artificial materials is in danger of becoming an additional focus for infection. We used harvested autologous fascia lata as a vascular patch in such operations on 2 patients with infected mediastinal false aneurysm after coronary arter...

Zusammenfassung:	In patients with infective aortic false aneurysms, repair using artificial materials is in danger of becoming an additional focus for infection. We used harvested autologous fascia lata as a vascular patch in such operations on 2 patients with infected mediastinal false aneurysm after coronary artery bypass surgery. These patients have not had any recurrences of mediastinitis and false aneurysm for 4 to 6 years after the operations.
