Posterior Contained Rupture of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Within the Psoas Muscle After Endovascular Repair

An 85 year old man was admitted to hospital complaining of dull left flank pain. Three years previously, he had been subjected to endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Non-contrast computed tomography showed an oedematous left psoas muscle and indicated dislocation of a tubular endograft. Subsequently, intravascular contrast revealed contained rupture of the aneurysm sac with haemorrhage into the left psoas muscle (panel A) and protrusion of the endograft from within the former (panel B).
