Vascular bypass graft infection with Mycobacterium bovis following Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy for bladder cancer is an incredibly rare complication. We present the case of an 85-year-old man with a history of femorofemoral bypass who developed this complication over a year after BCG treatment. He was successfully treated with explantation of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft, redo bypass with vein graft, and antituberculous medical therapy.
