<i>Mycobacterium chelonae</i> Infection Identified by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing as the Probable Cause of Acute Contained Rupture of a Biological Composite Graft—A Case Report

<i>Mycobacterium chelonae</i> Infection Identified by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing as the Probable Cause of Acute Contained Rupture of a Biological Composite Graft—A Case Report

We present the case of a 72-year-old female patient with acute contained rupture of a biological composite graft, 21 months after replacement of the aortic valve and the ascending aorta due to an aortic dissection. Auramine-rhodamine staining of intraoperative biopsies showed acid-fast bacilli, but...
