Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in COVID 19 Pandemic

Abstract

Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysms are pathological dilatations of the abdominal aorta that occur because of unknown causes and are associated with cardiovascular risk factors excluding diabetes. Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms are catastrophic events with high mortality and morbidity. This case report describes successful management of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with endovascular aortic repair through the bell-button technique, with a short hospital course.
