The late removal of an abdominal aortic endograft is technically challenging and can be associated with significant blood loss, especially when a graft with active suprarenal fixation is involved. The main issue in safe explantation of the endograft is control of the aorta above the proximal fixation site. We report an adjunctive technique for the safe and fast proximal control of the suprarenal aorta using an aortic balloon. The endograft is directly punctured and an aortic balloon is deployed and inflated above the fixation site in the supracoeliac aorta. The time for supracoeliac control in our 2 patients was &lt;5 min. This simple technique offers a safe and fast aortic control during the removal of the endograft, especially when active suprarenal fixation is used, avoiding the risks from a technically demanding dissection in a potentially inflammatory region.
