Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening emergency. Computed tomography (CT) is crucial for diagnosing ruptured AAA by identifying the aneurysm and surrounding blood, guiding urgent surgical repair.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a critical surgical emergency requiring immediate intervention.
  • Without prompt operative repair, rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is invariably fatal.
  • Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for diagnosing ruptured AAA in hemodynamically stable individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the diagnostic criteria for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using computed tomography (CT).
  • To differentiate ruptured AAA from other conditions like inflammatory AAA.
  • To outline potential complications following emergency aneurysm repair.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) relies on CT findings.

  • Key CT indicators include the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and extraluminal retroperitoneal blood.
  • Characteristic CT features of retroperitoneal hemorrhage include isodense and hyperdense areas, often in the psoas and perirenal spaces.

    • Main Results:

    • CT diagnosis of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) involves identifying the aneurysm and extraluminal blood.
    • Retroperitoneal hemorrhage on CT typically appears as isodense and hyperdense areas.
    • Additional CT findings may include aortic wall defects and active contrast extravasation, indicating rupture.

    Conclusions:

    • Urgent surgical repair is essential for survival in cases of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
    • Computed tomography (CT) provides definitive diagnosis by visualizing the aneurysm and associated hemorrhage.
    • Distinguishing ruptured AAA from inflammatory AAA and recognizing potential complications are vital for patient management.
