We report a case of marked aneurysmal expansion by type II endoleaks 8 years after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. The preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated the descending thoracic aorta of 95 mm with type II endoleak. We performed suture closure of 3 endoleaks and partial aneurysmorrhaphy via left thoracotomy under partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative CT showed no endoleak with shrinkage of the aneurysm. The patient was discharged on the 21th postoperative day uneventfully.
