Key result
Percutaneous trans-luminal placement of an aortic bypass stent-graft successfully controlled unstable hemorrhage from a rupturing aortic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with metastatic germ cell tumor.
Why the study?
Does percutaneous trans-luminal placement of an aortic bypass stent-graft control hemorrhage in a patient with a massive rupturing aortic pseudoaneurysm due to metastatic germ cell tumor?

Percutaneous aortic stent-graft placement can be a successful emergency management strategy for life-threatening aortic pseudoaneurysm rupture secondary to metastatic tumor invasion.

May inform emergency endovascular options in rare oncologic aortic rupture; hypothesis-generating and does not alter practice.
Terry et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Testicular carcinoma with massive rupturing aortic pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Percutaneous trans-luminal placement of an aortic bypass stent-graft was evaluated on Survival and disease status. Percutaneous trans-luminal placement of an aortic bypass stent-graft successfully controlled unstable hemorrhage from a rupturing aortic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with metastatic germ cell tumor.
