Abstract:
Although nonsurgical management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is still used among a significant number of patients, survival after conservative treatment is extremely rare. We report a case of an 86-year-old female who presented with an rAAA that was confirmed clinically and radiologically via computed tomography angiography. Although the patient was not deemed a candidate for surgery owing to significant comorbidities and poor baseline function, she survived the episode with no surgical intervention. Given the growing aging and frail population, it is vital to explore this further, with the aim of improving both mortality and advanced care planning in the nonsurgical management of rAAA.
