Late Conversion After Sac Anchoring Endoprosthesis for Secondary Aortic Aneurysm Infection

Conclusion: The need to explant a Nellix EVAS System due to graft infection is a straightforward procedure compared to the removal of a conventional endograft with suprarenal fixation. It requires only temporary suprarenal clamping. The devices can be easily removed due to the lack of penetrating components and without damage to the aortic segment needed to create an anastomosis.
