We present a complex case of a renal transplant recipient with ruptured suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm who had previously undergone endovascular repair of descending thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm. This patient was treated successfully combining extra-anatomical bypasses of main abdominal arteries and subsequent endovascular stent grafting covering the entire thoracoabdominal aorta.
