Stent-grafting combined with transcatheter embolization for a ruptured isolated hypogastric artery aneurysm

摘要

Rupture of isolated hypogastric artery aneurysm (HAA) is rarely encountered and is associated with a high mortality rate. Conventional surgery can not achieve distal control easily and may cause substantial blood loss, yielding high operative morbidity and mortality. On March 17, 2005, we treated a patient with such a disease successfully by using endovascular stent-grafting combined with transcatheter embolization.
