Abstract
A 75yearold man complaining of acute abdominal pain 1 month after elective surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm by an aortabiiliac bypass graft was referred and admitted to the emergency room Imaging by sonography and computed tomography scan revealed a ruptured iliac pseudoaneurysm at the right iliac anastomotic site with associated large retroperitoneal hematoma We inserted a selfexpanding covered Zstent graft by a transfemoral approach and the iliac anastomotic pseudoaneurysm was successfully excluded Our case demonstrates the possibilities of an endovascular approach for providing a fast efficient and less aggravating procedure in order to treat these lifethreatening conditions
