Objective:
To describe our surgical experience on rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Methods:
Two cases of ruptured aortic aneurysms with severe complication were analysed. Aorta reconstruction procedures were performed using bifurcated e-PTFE grafts during emergency operation. Diagnosis, preoperative resuscitation, emergency surgical intervention, and postoperative complications of these patients were summarized and discussed.
Results:
Rupture of aortic aneurysm in both patients presented as a huge retroperitoneum haematoma by computed tomography scan. They were successfully saved by prompt body fluid compensation, emergency procedure, intraoperative resuscitation, and postoperative intensive care.
Conclusions:
Correct diagnosis, prompt surgical management, immediate intraoperative proximal aorta clamping during procedure, and effective management of postoperative complications were the key points to successful treatment of ruptured aortic aneurysm.
