Life-saving endovascular aortic repair in spontaneous suptures: Report of two emergency cases

Abstract

Aortic aneurysm rupture is still a life threatening situation despite the advancements in cardiovascular surgery field. Today, endovascular treatment is an option for these patients. In the case of an aortic rupture, urgent evaluation of the patient and planning the patient specific treatment are crucial. Herein, we represent two cases who survived after successful treatments of aortic ruptures.
