Endovascular treatment successfully treats a patient with ruptured AAA and cardiogenic shock.
Case Report (n=1)
Endovascular treatment can be successfully performed as an emergent life-saving procedure in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm presenting with cardiogenic shock.
Supports feasibility of emergent endovascular repair in ruptured AAA with cardiogenic shock; leaves open need for prospective data before practice change.
Abdominal aort aneurysm is an asymptomatic and potentially lethal disease which its rupture is an emergent situation.In many centers, patients presenting with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) are most often treated with open repair(OR).A 55-year-old male with acute abdominal pain admitted to our hospital.Computed tomography scan showed a rAAA.A sudden cardiac arrest occured.The patient immediately transferred to catheter laboratory with cardiogenic shock table and endovascular treatment was performed.Then he was discharged in the postoperative 7th day.

Budak et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and cardiogenic shock (n=1). Endovascular treatment was evaluated. Endovascular treatment was successfully performed in a 55-year-old male with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and cardiogenic shock, leading to discharge on the 7th postoperative day.
