Abstract

Giant aortoiliac aneurysm is a rare nosological entity. Owing to the increased diameter, the risk of rupture is extremely high and, similarly, the repair is extremely challenging. In this article, open surgical repair of a ruptured giant aortoiliac aneurysm in a 72-year-old male is described. A bifurcated Dacron graft was used with left internal iliac artery revascularization, while the contralateral internal iliac artery was ligated. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
