Title: Successful Emergency Stenting of Acute Ruptured False Iliac Aneurysm

Abstract

A 75-year-old man complaining of acute abdominal pain, 1 month after elective surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm by an aortabi-iliac bypass graft, was referred and admitted to the emergency room. Imaging by sonography and computed tomography scan revealed a ruptured iliac pseudoaneurysm at the right iliac anastomotic site with associated large retroperitoneal hematoma. We inserted a self-expanding covered Z-stent graft by a transfemoral approach and the iliac anastomotic pseudoaneurysm was successfully excluded. Our case demonstrates the possibilities of an endovascular approach for providing a fast, efficient and less aggravating procedure in order to treat these life-threatening conditions.
