Giant Symptomatic Unruptured Juxtarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

Herein, we present the case of an 84-year-old male with a 13-cm, symptomatic, unruptured juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. This aneurysm was successfully treated with open surgical repair, which was deemed satisfactory at the 3-year follow-up. Despite a paradigm shift towards endovascular techniques in aortic repair, postgraduate training with a focused exposure to open aortic surgery at high-volume centers is essential for future vascular surgeons to safely perform complex aortic repairs with acceptable mortality and morbidity rates.
