Introduction:
Approximately 40 cases of spontaneous rupture of the aorta have been described in the literature. Diagnosis can be challenging, and a high index of clinical suspicion enabling prompt treatment can be lifesaving.
Report:
This report presents the case of a 73 year old man who had three multilevel ruptures of the aorta at different times, all treated endovascularly. The patient had a good post-operative course, with no complaints during regular follow up.
Discussion:
Clinical presentation was non-specific because the ruptures were contained, but spontaneous rupture of the aorta can manifest with a catastrophic presentation and hypovolaemic shock, requiring immediate treatment. The endovascular technique used was safe and resolved the patient's symptoms.
