Late Rupture of a Totally Thrombosed Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Case Report and Literature Review

Christiana Anastasiadou et al. Ann Vasc Surg. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

Chronic totally thrombosed abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) comprise a rare medical situation, with only a few cases reported in literature. Optimal management has been controversial, although an early risk for rupture is present. Therefore, we present a rare case of late rupture in a patient with a totally thrombosed AAA, and we discuss proper treatment.
