Abstract
This report presents the case of a 43-year-old man with inferior vena cava (IVC) compression caused by a retroperitoneal hematoma following an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture. Preoperative computed tomography scans revealed an infrarenal AAA with a retroperitoneal hematoma nearly occluding the IVC. After emergency aortic grafting, IVC thrombosis, deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) arose. Anticoagulation therapy resolved these thrombotic complications. Disappearance of the hematoma and IVC recanalization were confirmed 3 months postoperatively. Although IVC compression caused by a retroperitoneal hematoma is temporary, careful attention should be paid to IVC thrombosis, DVT, and PTE as possible complications.
