The endovascular technique is now an alternative to conventional surgery in the treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms, especially for patients at high surgical risk. In some cases, however, due to their anatomical and/or clinical features, none of the conventional options are suitable, requiring complex solutions. The authors present 3 cases reports, treated at their institution between January 2008 and December 2011, in which were used unusual solutions for the endovascular treatment of the thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms. The alternative techniques used were the Chimney and the Funnel. There was no aneurysm related mortality. This article set forth the techniques details and feasibility.

Keywords : Abdominal aorticaneurysm; Thoracic aorticaneurysm; EVAR; TEVAR; Funnel technique; Chimney technique.
