An 87-year-old man, who submitted to endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) on 2017, presented a type Ia endoleak 2 years later, with enlargement of the aneurysmal sac. We planned an endovascular procedure of correction consisting of a proximal extension through two covered stent grafts deployed into the previous Nellix stent grafts, with associated triple chimney. However, 3 months later, he had a further 5 mm aneurysmal sac enlargement. He was submitted to angiography with coil embolization of gutters, obtaining a successfully result. At 1 and 3 months, he is free from endoleak, with a stable aneurysmal diameter.
