Abstract:
Two cases of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated with retroperitoneal approach are presented. Case 1 was a 73-year-old man with an infrarenal AAA of 44mm in diameter, and case 2 was a 73-year-old man with a 54mm pseudoaneurysm after graft replacement for AAA. Both patients had a history of previous laparotomy and their aneurysms had ruptured into only the right retroperitoneal space. A left retroperitoneal approach permitted wide and rapid exposure of the aorta with minimal damage to the intestines and respiratory function. Their postoperative courses were uneventful.
