Abstract Purpose We provided an endovascular strategy of treating ruptured aortic aneurysm with Behcet’s Disease. Case report A 25-year-old man was diagnosed ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm with Behcet’s Disease according to his eye damage history, high level of ESR and C-reactive protein and the imaging result. We used in-vitro fenestration of the stent-graft combined with in-stent technique to occlude the ruptured aortic aneurysm and preserve the blood supply from the aorta for visceral arteries in emergency. Sac filling technique was used to treat the endoleak to quickly prevent bleeding. The patient kept post-operative immunotherapy for 1 year. Conclusion The patient had a good prognosis in the reduction of the cavity of aortic aneurysm to the normal size without any complications in a year follow-up.
