Popis: A 75-year-old man underwent emergent endovascular aortic repair for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Two years later, computed tomography revealed aneurysm enlargement with endoleaks. Next, late open conversion was performed. Intraoperatively, we detected a spurting type II endoleak from an artery within the aneurysmal wall, which was unconnected to any branch vessels outside the aneurysm, and surgical ligation and sacotomy was performed uneventfully. To our knowledge, this is the first report to intraoperatively identify a type II endoleak from an artery within the aneurysm wall. Even for atypical type II endoleak, such as this case, open surgical repair should be effective.
