Abstract
Distal migration of aortic abdominal endografts may lead to endoleaks and must be overcome. Revision surgery has been related to substantial morbidity and mortality. In this case report, a new endovascular technique has been described to secure migrated primary endografts and proximal extender cuffs during revision surgery after failed endovascular aneurysm repair with the use of endostaples. At 6-month follow-up, no complications were noticed in both treated patients.
