Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: , a dematiaceous mold. The patient presented with neurologic symptoms 2 months after root-sparing ascending aortic aneurysm repair with aortic valve replacement. Multimodal imaging revealed irregular densities in the aortic lumen and graft, consistent with infectious thrombus. Redo aortic aneurysm repair and aortic valve replacement was performed, and a culture of the extracted thrombus confirmed the diagnosis.
