Large (24–34 mm) and wide (≥35 mm) aortic necks are a contraindication to endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). A 63-year-old man, unfit for conventional surgery, presented a 79 mm abdominal aortic aneurysm with 36.5 mm aortic neck and a 62 mm right common iliac artery aneurysm. He was treated endovascularly with standard commercially available stent-graft using the so-called ‘funnel technique’; by placing a thoracic stent-graft inside a bifurcated device to achieve proximal sealing. The completion angiography and the 6 months follow-up with computed tomography showed no stent-graft migration, limb occlusion or endoleak. The literature review reported 179 cases of large aortic neck managed w…
