Stent-graft infection is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of endovascular aortic repair. There are currently no consensus guidelines for treating stent-graft infections, but surgical treatment is generally considered preferable due to the low overall survival rate of patients receiving conservative therapy; however, the revascularization method remains controversial. We report a case in which stent-graft infection after endovascular aneurysm repair was successfully treated by stent-graft removal and extra-anatomical bypass (EAB). EAB is an effective method of revascularization for stent-graft infection.
