[Re-operation for Saccular Aneurysm after Ascending Aortic Replacement with Homograft;Report of a Case].

A 62-years-old female had undergone ascending aortic replacement with homograft for graft infection and mediastinitis after initial replacement of ascending aorta due to acute type A dissection. Ten years after homograft replacement, follow up computed tomography showed acute growing saccular aneurysm of the homograft without infectious symptoms. We urgently performed Bentall procedure and hemiarch replacement successfully. Pathological diagnosis was true aneurysm of the homograft. She was discharged from hospital without any complication and has been quite uneventful 7 years after surgery. True aneurysm of the homograft is very rare and our case is the 1st report of successful reoperation.
