Traditional open surgical repair for aortic rupture from a thoracoabdominal pseudoaneurysm is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. The use of advanced intravascular imaging and endovascular techniques permits selection and customizing endoluminal graft components to treat such catastrophic events in high‐risk surgical patients. We report the successful management of a ruptured thoracoabdominal pseudoaneurysm with an endovascular approach.
