A CT angiography was performed after an aneurysm repair on a contained rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), which was secondary to a large endoleak following complex branched helical endovascular aneurysm repair.

A 66-year-old male patient, with a known history of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, had undergone multiple aneurysm repairs. Four months ago, a further aneurysm repair was performed on a contained rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), which was secondary to a large endoleak following complex branched helical endovascular aneurysm repair. The patient was referred for a follow-up CT angiography (CTA) of the entire aorta. At admission, he was asymptomatic with a normal body mass index (22.1 kg/m2) and normal blood pressure (133/69 mmHg).

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
