[Unusual angiographic technic in a ruptured aortic aneurysm (author's transl)]. 1978

W Wenz, and H J Halbfass

In a 65-year-old patient with amputation of both legs, a life-threatening acute abdominal hemorrhage necessitates aortography. Following surgical dissection of the right femoral artery a catheter could be inserted through the thrombosed vessel into the aortic lumen. This approach made the diagnosis of a perforated aortic aneurysm by angiography possible.
