Key result
Surgical treatment comprising partial removal, distal aneurysmorrhaphy, and an aortofemoral prosthetic bypass successfully treated a ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm in a 76-year-old man.
Case Report (n=1)
Surgical treatment involving partial removal, distal aneurysmorrhaphy, and aortofemoral prosthetic bypass can successfully manage a ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm into the rectum.
Supports feasibility in this rare rupture; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Although internal iliac artery aneurysms are uncommon, their timely recognition and surgical treatment are important since, like all other abdominal aneurysms, they tend to enlarge and rupture, often without warning, and the outcome is usually fatal. An aneurysm of the left internal iliac artery, in a seventy-six-year-old obese man, which ruptured into the rectum, was successfully treated by partial removal, distal aneurysmorrhaphy, and positioning of an aortofemoral prosthetic bypass.

Gaudio et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Ruptured aneurysm of the internal iliac artery (n=1). Partial removal, distal aneurysmorrhaphy, and positioning of an aortofemoral prosthetic bypass was evaluated on Clinical outcome. Surgical treatment comprising partial removal, distal aneurysmorrhaphy, and an aortofemoral prosthetic bypass successfully treated a ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm in a 76-year-old man.
