A 49-year-old man, who had undergone total arch replacement (TAR) with frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for type A acute aortic dissection, was subsequently transferred to our hospital for uncontrollable infection. Since multiple blood cultures were positive for Candida parapsilosis and transesophageal echocardiography revealed vegetation attached to the FET, he was diagnosed with a graft infection. In addition, on the 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scans, high uptake lesions were found around the quadrifurcated graft as well as the FET. Therefore, an extensive TAR through anterolateral thoracotomy with partial sternotomy was performed to remove all infected prothesis. Consequently, the patient completely recovered.
