AbstractWe report a surgical case of infected thoracic aortic aneurysm. Before arrival of the cryopreserved aortic allograft, the patient had hemoptysis resulting from aneurysm rupture. Therefore endovascular stent grafting was urgently performed three days prior to in situ allograft implantation. Palliative stent grafting prevented circulatory collapse and stabilized the patient until successful allograft implantation.
