We report the case of a 67-year-old, diabetic patient who underwent antibiotic-preserved homograft replacement of a thoraco-abdominal segment of the aorta for leaking mycotic aneurysm. This was successful in eradicating the sepsis and no graft complication had occurred at (18 months). Follow-up with computed tomography (CT) scanning.
