Spontaneous Rupture of Abdominal Aorta Pseudoaneurysm: a Case Report.

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms are false aneurysms that mostly occur at the site of arterial injury. Pseudoaneurysm is the most frequent complication after catheter-associated interventions and occurs because of an insufficient closure of the puncture site. However, there are several reported cases of patients with pseudoaneurysm without a prior history of vascular intervention. We described a case of ruptured giant abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with no prior history of vascular intervention, with an initial complaint of abdominal pain. The patient successfully received EVAR therapy using a kissing graft.
