Case report: late rupture of a thrombosed abdominal aortic aneurysm. 1984

J J Ricotta, and R L Kirshner

A patient with a thrombosed aortic aneurysm, proved by angiography, died of aortic rupture 5 1/2 months after thrombosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of late rupture of a thrombosed aortic aneurysm. This occurrence raises questions about the long-term safety of nonresective treatment of aortic aneurysms.
