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.
