Key result
Rescue EVAR for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm was clinically successful at 1 year despite requiring multiple reinterventions for type I and type III endoleaks.
Case Report (n=1)
Rescue EVAR for ruptured AAA can achieve clinical success despite significant technical complications requiring multiple re-interventions.
Single-case success with EndoAnchors and relining for post-EVAR endoleaks; leaves open prospective evaluation before wider adoption.
We report a clinical evolution of a 85-years old male admitted to our Emergency Department for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). One month later a huge type I proximal endoleak was detected and corrected by proximal aortic extension. We decided to fix the stent-graft to the aortic wall using EndoAnchors. However, an asymptomatic type III endoleak due to controlateral limb disconnection was detected at the followed schedulated CT angio and corrected by a relining of the endograft. The patient is now in good clinical condition with no evidence of endoleaks at 1-year follow-up.

Setacci et al. (2013) conducted a case report in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) (n=1). Rescue EVAR was evaluated on Clinical evolution and endoleak occurrence. Rescue EVAR for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm was clinically successful at 1 year despite requiring multiple reinterventions for type I and type III endoleaks.
