Huge ruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta

Ruptured aneurysms of the abdominal aorta are the greatest challenge in modern vascular surgery.

Open surgery in this scenario is superior to endovascular treatment EVAR (endovascular aneurysm repair) with prosthetic graft, since the latter does not provide adequate options to drain the retroperitoneal space, which is associated with a higher mortality rate.
