ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with successive aortic aneurysms during a 12-year period. He was first treated in 2006 for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a bifurcated endograft, then in 2016 for a tender type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm with a proximal aortic cuff with in situ laser fenestrations. He presented in 2018 with a 9-cm distal thoracic aorta aneurysm managed by an off-the-shelf t-Branch endograft (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Ind). The perioperative course was uneventful, and 6-month follow-up computed tomography scan has shown freedom from endoleaks and branch patency. This case illustrates that apparently "healthy" aortic necks can degenerate after endovascular aneurysm repair.
