• A delayed secondary open conversion (SOC) after endovascular aneurysm repair may be necessary due to a failing graft. Many surgical techniques can be performed, and one such approach is partial explantation of the graft with resuturing of a new graft to the retained components of the endograft. No guidelines exist with regards to the follow-up of retained endovascular components after a delayed SOC. The theoretical risk of endoleaks remains with retained components, and this case demonstrates the development of a type Ib endoleak after SOC leading to free flow of blood into a partially resected aneurysm sac and causing a symptomatic aneurysm rupture.
