A 63-year-old male underwent emergency repair of a ruptured juxtarenal aortic aneurysm via a transabdominal approach using an aorto-bi-iliac Dacron graft. This became infected. A right axillobifemoral bypass was placed and the infected graft was removed with oversewing of the aorta. The patient was re-admitted 8 months later with an infected axillobifemoral prosthesis. We harvested both femoral veins (FV) and spliced them to perform a left thoracobifemoral bypass with simultaneous explantation of the infected graft. The patient remains well with a patent graft 20 months post-operatively.
