Abstract:
The Guide Line of the Society for Vascular Surgery now recommends endovascular repair (rEVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA) when anatomical conditions are present. Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) can be one of the serious postoperative complications of rEVAR. ACS is usually associated with progressive development of organ dysfunctions and poor outcomes. We describe an ACS following a RAAA with hemorrhagic shock treated conservatively with a rEVAR.Decompression laparotomy were not performed because spontaneous improvement with conservative ICU treatment was effective.
