AbstractCryopreserved arterial allografts are used in vascular surgery to treat infected arterial prosthesis. This treatment reduces mortality and morbidity compared to conventional surgery. We observed a case of early rupture of the allograft with the death of the patient due to a misdiagnosis. Recent findings show that cases of rupture have been described, and that current cryopreservation protocols may be the cause of degeneration. To avoid a sudden death for the patient, this complication must be known to diagnose quickly and treat surgically before a final haemorrhagic shock.
