We describe the management of ascending aorta aneurysm following a recurrent sternotomy wound infection in 2 male patients. The patients had undergone cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass with late complications of chronic sternal wound infection and saccular aneurysm at the aortic cannulation site. In both patients, following a multidisciplinary approach, a customized stent graft was implanted endovascularly into the ascending aorta to seal the aneurysm orifice followed by resternotomy, repair of the aneurysm and omentopexy. Both patients' postoperative course was uneventful.
