Endovascular treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (DTAA) is associated with low rates of morbimortality and is currently the first line of therapeutic intervention. Endoleaks are a well-known complication of this technique, with the consensus that the identification of type I endoleak implies its prompt correction. We present the case of a patient who underwent TEVAR for the treatment of DTAA, with exclusion of the aneurysm in the control angiography. The control CTA showed type Ib endoleak with growth of the aneurysmal sac, so treatment was proposed which the patient refused. The patient was subsequently admitted urgently with rupture of the aneurysm and was immediately subjected to debranching of the visceral trunks, followed by distal TEVAR extension. The hybrid treatment of thoracic aneurysms without a distal landing zone through the debranching of the visceral trunks and TEVAR is an alternative to conventional surgery and complex endovascular surgery that presents good results in patients with high surgical risk and also allows to treat patients in an urgent regime since it does not depend on the manufacture of fenestrated and/or branched endoprostheses.
