We report the case of a 60-year-old female patient with a contained rupture of a proximal anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after previous open repair of a type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysm. A repeat open repair was considered to be too risky. We performed an urgent endovascular repair with a thoracic stent-graft and a surgeon-modified fenestrated aortic cuff with two fenestrations. The final angiogram and postoperative imaging studies showed complete aneurysm exclusion without any endoleak. Surgeon-modified fenestrated endovascular aortic repair is a feasible treatment option for emergency cases for which repeat open repair or custom-made complex endovascular repair is not an option.
