Management of infrarenal aortic aneurysm rupture postendovascular stenting

Abstract

An elderly woman presented a year after undergoing endovascular repair of her infrarenal aortic aneurysm (IRAA) with abdominal pain and hypotension. Imaging revealed a ruptured IRAA, and this was managed with banding of the aorta to correct the Type-1a endoleak and tranexamic acid postoperative. We share details and a brief review of the literature.
