Abstract	A unique case of an abdominal aortic aneurysm replacement in a young man of Caribbean descent is presented. The initial working diagnosis was of a mycotic aneurysm, which has recently shown resurgence with intravenous drug abuse. Blood tests and subsequent biopsy ruled that out. There was also a clinical suspicion of a connective tissue abnormality. Histological examination of the aneurysm, skin biopsy, and blood tests also ruled out this possibility. The graft used in this patient was from a new generation of grafts. In the absence of any studies on such grafts, there is the question of long term durability of the graft.
