Abstract
Infection of an endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) is rare but has become more prevalent with the standardization of EVAR for treating infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. The understanding of this complex aortic condition has improved but still remains to evolve. We present a patient with an EVAR infection manifesting with juxtarenal aortic rupture as a result of a urinary tract infection. This report describes an unusual presentation of an EVAR infection treated with in situ aortic reconstruction and provides >1 year of follow-up.
