Infected aneurysm of the thoracic aorta was uncommon. The clinical results of in situ grafting were improving. Nontyphoid Salmonella was the most common responsible microorganism, and the prognosis of infection caused by Salmonella was not dismal. Outcomes of other management strategies, such as endovascular stenting, need to be compared with these results.
