Contained rupture of an aortic aneurysm is a high-mortality condition that requires immediate repair. Open repair has been the gold standard; however, endovascular and hybrid open-endovascular repair techniques have also emerged as less invasive solutions to this vascular emergency. Here. we present a patient with a giant 14.0 cm contained rupture of a Thoracic aortic aneurysm and 7.4 cm juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm who was successfully treated with hybrid open-endovascular repair.
