Introduction: An ectopic renal artery originating from the aortic bifurcation can strongly interfere with surgical or endovascular intervention in the infrarenal aorta. Case: We present an infrarenal symptomatic aneurysm with a right ectopic/pelvic kidney associated with 1 renal artery originating from the aortic bifurcation. Result: During an endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedure, the dominant ectopic right kidney was perfused by an iliac branch device (IBD) used as an iliac extension. However, out of instructions for use (IFU), this is an “off-the-shelf” resolution for this type of rare case. Conclusion: The use of an “off-the-shelf” IBD to perform an EVAR with an ectopic renal artery, in patients unfit for open surgery, is a potentially valuable option.
