Summary:Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) after previous endovascular repair (EVAR) may require endograft explantation and replacement with a prosthetic surgical graft. Recent reports have suggested that total endograft removal during late surgical conversion in the nonruptured setting may not be necessary and that preserving functional parts of the endograft may improve results. Similar techniques may be used for ruptured cases diminishing the magnitude of an already difficult and complex procedure. We describe the successful treatment of a ruptured AAA after previous EVAR with complete endograft preservation by combining transmural endograft fixation with sutures, proximal aortic neck banding, and sac plication.
