The simultaneous occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysm and rectal cancer is uncommon but represents a therapeutic dilemma. We report two patients in whom endovascular stenting of the aneurysm was not feasible. These patients were managed by an initial retroperitoneal aortic repair followed a few weeks later by an ultra low anterior resection. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.
