Abstract

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) represents a genuine surgical emergency. In the presence of abdominal pain, hypoten sion 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 its relationship with adjacent structures. Aortocaval fistula and ompression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are venous complications associated with rAAA. We report cases of aortocaval fistula and IVC compression with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to rAAA. The four patients underwent endovascular repair. The  circumstances associated with venous complications of rAAA, the treatment strategy used and the therapeutic options are described.
