외상성 복부 대동맥류의 파열 -수술치험 1례 보고-
Abstract
We present a case of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by blunt injury. The patient was 23-year-old soldier injured by a motor vehicle accident. Injuries sustained a contused abdominal aorta. At the time of aortic repair, the involved segment formed huge pseudoaneurysm, and which had intimal tear. Aorto-iliac graft replacement was carried out with a woven-dacron Y-graft prosthesis, which restored satisfactory circulation to both lower limbs. The postoperative course was uneventful.
