Abstract
A 49-year-old woman with a 27-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was admitted to our hospital with sudden-onset severe back pain. An emergency multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) revealed a ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) 80 mm in diameter. Considering her condition and comorbidities, we performed an emergency hybrid treatment: visceral reconstruction followed by endoluminal aneurysm exclusion. She recovered uneventfully, except for the need for temporary hemodialysis. TAAA complicated with SLE is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is the first successful report in the English literature of a ruptured TAAA in a patient with SLE who underwent hybrid treatment.Entities:
