The primary goals of surgery for mycotic thoracic aortic aneurysms include control of sepsis, radical debridement of infected tissue, anatomic or extra-anatomic aortic reconstruction, and prevention of recurrent infection. Patients with Salmonella aortitis are a challenging subgroup of patients with aggressive infection and very poor prognosis, because bacterial eradication is difficult and risk of recurrent infection is high. We report the successful surgical management of a patient who presented with a ruptured Salmonella aortic arch aneurysm with extensive debridement and near circumferential autologous pericardial patch reconstruction of the aortic arch.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D010496	Pericardium	A conical fibro-serous sac surrounding the HEART and the roots of the great vessels (AORTA; VENAE CAVAE; PULMONARY ARTERY). Pericardium consists of two sacs: the outer fibrous pericardium and the inner serous pericardium. The latter consists of an outer parietal layer facing the fibrous pericardium, and an inner visceral layer (epicardium) resting next to the heart, and a pericardial cavity between these two layers.

D017542	Aneurysm, Ruptured	The tearing or bursting of the weakened wall of the aneurysmal sac, usually heralded by sudden worsening pain. The great danger of a ruptured aneurysm is the large amount of blood spilling into the surrounding tissues and cavities, causing HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK.

D017545	Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic	An abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of the THORACIC AORTA. This proximal descending portion of aorta gives rise to the visceral and the parietal branches above the aortic hiatus at the diaphragm.
