A large mycotic aneurysm of the ascending aorta that appeared two years, three months after triple coronary revascularization is described. Hypothermia and total circulatory arrest were used in excising the aneurysm, and sterilization of the mediastinum was achieved with systemic and local antibiotic therapy. Follow-up at eight months showed a satisfactory postoperative course and no recurrence of mediastinal infection.

The case of a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the aortic arch in a 40-year-old patient is reported. Successful surgery was performed using deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest. Reconstruction was carried out using an intraluminal ringed vascular prosthesis. The postoperative course was uncomplicated and 10 months after surgery the patient is symptomless and back at his original job.

A 65-year-old woman received a bovine pericardial patch repair with a sutureless technique for a left ventricular free-wall rupture. Three months later the Dor operation was performed for a left ventricular aneurysm. She was admitted again with a mycotic aneurysm 15 months after the Dor operation. Computed tomography suggested a rupture of the pseudoaneurysm due to a damaged endoventricular patch. An emergency Dor reoperation was performed with profound hypothermia. Right thoracotomy was performed with insertion of a left vent catheter via the right upper pulmonary vein in order to prevent ventricular distention. Omentopexy was performed to avoid infection of the mediastinum. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
