ABSTRACT
A 70-year-old man with no outpatient history visited the local doctor with complaints of weakness of the limbs and abdominal pain on the following day after vomiting on the previous night. He was suspected to have a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm from a simple CT scan of the abdomen, and was transported to our hospital for emergency treatment. After a contrast-enhanced CT scan at our hospital, a thrombosed type B aortic dissection and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm were diagnosed, and emergency surgery was performed on the same day. Although the dissection had extended to the abdominal aortic aneurysm, abdominal aortic endovascular repair (EVAR) was performed because it was a thrombosed type B aortic dissection. After admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), the patient showed intra-abdominal hypertension and oliguria. So, we performed an emergency decompressive laparotomy against abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). He was discharged from the ICU on the 8th day and transferred to rehabilitation on the 38th day. We report a case of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with thrombosed acute type B aortic dissection that was successfully treated.
