Listeria monocytogenes infection and rupture of the aneurysm sac, after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), are both rare. We report the case of an 82-year-old man who presented with a ruptured aneurysm by infection with L. monocytogenes after EVAR. We successfully treated him by in situ reconstruction with a bifurcated expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) graft, with partial removal of the infected stent graft. At 30 months from the reoperation, the patient was in good health at home, with no symptoms of infection, and the gallium-67-citrate single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) fusion images confirmed no fluid accumulation.
