Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture remains a cardiovascular catastrophe with strikingly high morbidity and mortality rates. Endovascular aneurysm repair management has recently emerged as a valuable treatment modality for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, but better outcomes have to be reached. Image fusion may potentially improve perioperative outcomes in selected patients, guiding navigation and device implantation and limiting contrast dosage during interventions. We report an 83-year-old man presenting with an 80-mm infrarenal aortic aneurysm rupture suitable for endovascular aneurysm repair. Endovascular navigation and stent graft deployment were achieved using computed tomography image fusion for the first reported case in English.
