FERREIRA, LUIS M et al. Central Venous Complications Associated with Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.5, pp.460-464. ISSN 1850-3748.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7775/rac.es.v88.i5.19040.

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs) represent a real surgical emergency. In the presence of abdominal pain, hypotension or even shock, patients require emergency transfer to an operating room adequately equipped to treat the aneurysm effectively and without delay. Occasionally, symptoms are the consequence of involvement of the adjacent structures, Aortocaval fistula and compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are venous complications associated with rAAAs. We report cases of aortocaval fistula and IVC compression with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to rAAA. The four patients underwent endovascular repair. The circumstances associated with the venous complications of rAAA, the treatment strategy used and the therapeutic options are described.
