Explantation of traditional infrarenal aortic endografts has been previously described, and explanation of aortic endografts with standard suprarenal fixation at our center has been well defined. However, to the best of our knowledge, no cases have been reported on explantation of endografts with polymer rings present to facilitate the proximal seal. By obtaining full thoracoabdominal exposure with supraceliac clamping and opening the entire aorta along the graft, we were able to successfully explant the ALTO stent graft with polymer rings.
