title: In situ graft replacement and rectus abdominis muscle flap transfer for infected thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm after gastrectomy.
abstract: An infected thoracoabdominal aneurysm is a rare, life-threatening condition with high mortality. We performed an in situ graft replacement and applied a rectus abdominis muscle flap transfer technique in a case of infected thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm after distal gastrectomy. A rectus abdominis muscle flap transfer might be a good alternative when the omental flap technique is not feasible.
