Abstract:
Successful operation for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a Jehovah's Witness 66-year-old man was presented. The patient was urgently operated for symptomatic AAA. We found during surgery that that aneurysm was ruptured. Bifurcated PTFE aorto-bi-iliac prosthesis was implanted. The patient did not receive any blood or blood-origin products while staying in our Hospital.
