title: Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: The carotid approach.
abstract: We present the case of a 61-year-old man with a 5.8 cm infrarenal aortic aneurysm with extensive iliac disease that did not permit conventional EVAR, who was also judged to be too high risk for open surgery. Despite these factors, the aneurysm was still successfully repaired using endovascular means and an alternative access technique. This involved a specially commissioned Zenith aorto-uniliac endograft reverse mounted onto a TX2 delivery device, delivered via the carotid artery.
