A case of complicated abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm not suitable for open repair is described. It was treated by means of endovascular methods with a flared endograft limb. The uniqueness of this case is the absence of a suitable femoral access, requiring the deployment of the graft in a reversed configuration through axillary artery. The technique is described and the need of imaginative off label use of endovascular devices in such emergent cases is discussed.
