Abstract
Rupture due to device failure and/or endoleak is the most feared complication of endoluminal grafting for exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysm. We present three previously unreported cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture 23 months after AneuRx "repair" and describe the mechanisms of failure and discuss instructive technical aspects of their management.
