We report a case of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm due to salmonella typhy infection. The patient had a first operation of prothesis graft which led to infective dehiscence. After a further operation of aortic over renal banding, the patient was in good health. The authors discuss the possibility to make an aortic banding combined with an extra-anatomic revascularization directly, instead of carrying out an in situ reconstruction.
