Abstract
Branched endovascular aneurysm repair (bEVAR) are routinely used in clinical practice in patients with
complex aortic anatomy. However, they can lead to a number of complications, notable among which
are the risk of stent-graft migration and rotation. We present the case of a patient treated for a thoracoabdominal
aortic aneurysm in whom, as a result of stent-graft rotation, the dedicating branch of the left
renal artery was located in the exit of the superior mesenteric artery.
