ABSTRACT:

Background

Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening emergency, with untreated cases nearing a 100% mortality rate. This case presents a rare complication of AAA rupture with an infected retroperitoneal hematoma, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach.

Case presentation

Imaging revealed a saccular infra-renal AAA rupture with an infected retroperitoneal hematoma. Emergency surgery included extracorporeal subclavian-femoral bypass and aneurysm resection. Despite intraoperative complications, the patient recovered after 16 days in intensive care and was discharged in satisfactory condition. Follow-up CT
