Endovascular treatment for the spontaneous rupture of a non-aneurysmal subdiaphragmatic aorta

The case of a patient who underwent an endovascular aortic repair for a spontaneous rupture of a non-aneurysmal subdiaphragmatic aorta without trauma, infection, or inflammation is reported. The patient is a 51-year-old male diagnosed with subdiaphragmatic aortic rupture and was in a state of hemorrhagic shock upon admission to the hospital. Intraoperative aortography revealed the abdominal aortic rupture site located above the celiac artery. A coated thoracic stent graft was used. Completion angiography showed a total exclusion with no endoleaks. After six months of follow-up, computed tomographic scans confirmed the absence of endoleaks or graft displacements.
