Abstract
Computed tomography in a 74-year-old man with intermittent claudication revealed an abdominal aortic aneurysm, retroperitoneal hematoma, vertebral erosion, and total aortic occlusion. Surgery was delayed for 9 months after definitive diagnosis of contained rupture of the aortic aneurysm to allow treatment for ischemic heart disease and cardiac failure. After interposing a Y-shaped woven Dacron graft, the intermittent claudication was alleviated. The postoperative course was uneventful.Keywords
