Infrarenal rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, previously repaired using an endoaneurysmorrhaphy technique.

Unusual as well as well-known complications can occur after aortic reconstruction. In an effort to heighten awareness of these possibilities, a case is presented of a 71-year-old male who was brought to the emergency department with severe back pain of 2 days duration and hypotension. He had undergone repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm 6 years earlier.
