ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss the safety, feasibility, efficacy and problem of endovascular repair (EVR) for ruptured aortic aneurysm (RAA).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fourteen patients with RAA were obtained diagnosis and anatomic data of proximal and distal neck through magnetic resonance imaging and CT. The patients with hypotension were accepted anti-shock treatment. Stent-grafts were deployed in proper position of RAA under X-ray fluoroscopic.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The time from rupture to operation was 50 min to 21 d. Three cases had plenty of blood in left pleural cavity and 2 cases were done under bleeding shock condition. Five cases with RAA were fixed by bifurcated stent-grafts and others by straight stent-grafts. Follow-up term was 1 month to 38 months. One with ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm died 4 h later after operation, another one died of left thoracic cavity infection 9 months later, and others lived well without complication.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The EVR is a safe, efficient and feasible method. It will be a potential alternative to treat RAA in future, but more suitable for RAA with better proximal and distal landing zones.</p>
