Splenic rupture secondary to ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic, Bursa City Hospital, Bursa, Turkey
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture requires rapid diagnosis and treatment and has a high mortality rate without treatment. In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture, the conditions of the abdominal organs should be evaluated and the treatment approach should be determined accordingly. In this report, we present our patient with early splenic rupture who underwent endovascular aortic replacement (EVAR) due to ruptured AAA.
