Abstract
Introduction The management and outcome of a patient with a type III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) are reported. Methods The patient was scheduled for a two-stage endovascular repair strategy but experienced a contained TAAA rupture a week before the planned second stage fenestrated endovascular repair that had been postponed from 6 weeks to 5 months. Results Fortunately, the fenestrated device had already been delivered to the hospital; the contained rupture was thus managed endovascularly in this high-risk patient. Conclusion Staging extensive TAAA repairs to reduce the incidence of spinal cord ischemia is associated with a risk of interval aneurysm rupture.
