Simultaneous mycotic aortic aneurysms are a rare but life‐threatening complication. We describe the technique of one stage hybrid open debranching and endovascular repair using three thoracic stent‐graft devices deployed to cover the whole aorta to exclude multiple mycotic aneurysms. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12063 (J Card Surg 2013;28:159–162)
