Abstract:
We report a case of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm complicated with occlusion of bilateral common iliac arteries. A 68-year-old man complained of sudden onset of lower abdominal and back pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm of about 80 mm in diameter and a giant retroperitoneal hematoma, as well as occlusion of both common iliac arteries. We performed Y-grafting, concomitant with thrombectomy of both iliac arteries from inside the aneurysm. Postoperative course was uneventful without ischemic findings of the legs and the patient was discharged on the 17th postoperative day.
