Abstract
- Aortic injury is a frequently encountered condition that can present as a life-threatening emergency. When this injury occurs in the retroperitoneal portion of the aorta, it can be difficult to diagnose and treat because of the location. Although surgical repair remains the mainstay of treatment, surgery might not be an option for some patients. We have presented a case of a 54-year-old nonoperative candidate who had experienced iatrogenic retroperitoneal abdominal aortic rupture with pseudoaneurysm formation. The patient was successfully treated with the novel use of a proven technique: direct percutaneous embolization of the pseudoaneurysm sac via a translumbar approach under image guidance.
