- Endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) offers hope of improved outcomes in patients presenting with acute rupture. However, a high proportion of such patients have unfavorable proximal neck anatomy and are not suitable for treatment with conventional endografts. Fenestrated endografts overcome the problem of a short proximal neck, but at present their deployment is time consuming and therefore not easily applicable to a ruptured AAA. In this case report, the authors describe a hybrid device (a composite thoracic and infrarenal stent graft) that was able to overcome the problem of a short wide proximal neck in a patient with a ruptured AAA.
