Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are considered giant when they exceed >10cm, and they are rare, with only a few cases described as >14cm. AAAs can be repaired through endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or open surgery. EVAR involves the placement of a graft that contacts the aortic wall and the iliac vessels to prevent the aneurysm sac to have blood flow and pressure. One of the complications of EVAR is endoleak, the most common being type II. We describe an uncommon case of a progressively giant AAA with type II endoleak with poor evolution despite multiple repair attempts.
