Abstract
A 75-year-old patient underwent open repair of a rapidly expanded aneurysm after previous multiple endovascular repair (EVAR) attempts by others. Open surgical reconstruction allowed the explants of all metallic components of implanted stent-grafts. This is still an uncommon phenomenon due to the still low late reintervention rate.
