Successful surgical reconstruction of a giant ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. A case report

In the era of national screening programs and the widespread availability of vascular ultrasound and multislice computed tomography, a giant abdominal aortic aneurysm with a diameter greater than 10 cm is a rare clinical finding. Delayed surgical treatment of a giant abdominal aneurysm leads to its rupture, with a mortality rate of <90%. Furthermore, performing both open and endovascular reconstructions presents a complex technical challenge for the treatment of this patient population. This article presents a case of successful aneurysmectomy in a patient with a giant ruptured juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. This case is considered unique due to the rarity of this pathology and the successful surgical outcome. This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis, surgical intervention, and a multidisciplinary approach to achieving a favorable outcome in patients with a ruptured giant abdominal aortic aneurysm.
