Abstract
Improvements in endovascular technology and techniques have allowed us to treat patients in ways we never thought possible. Today, endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms is associated with markedly decreased morbidity and mortality compared with the open surgical approach, yet there are several fundamental obstacles in our ability to offer these endovascular techniques to most patients with ruptured aneurysms. This article will focus on the technical aspects of endovascular aneurysm repair for rupture, with particular attention to developing a standardized multidisciplinary approach that will help vascular surgeons deal with not just the technical aspects of these procedures but also address some of the challenges, including the availability of preoperative computed tomography, the choice of anesthesia, the percutaneous vs femoral cutdown approach, use of aortic occlusion balloons, need for bifurcated vs aortouniiliac stent grafts, need for adjunctive procedures, diagnosis and treatment of abdominal compartment syndrome, and conversion to open surgical repair.
