  • Title: Descending thoracic aneurysm rupture with a known abdominal aortic aneurysm.
    Author: Collins PS, Berry W.
    Journal: Mil Med; 1991 Jun; 156(6):313-5. PubMed ID: 1852286.
    Abstract:
    The association of abdominal aortic aneurysms with aneurysmal disease of the thoracic aorta is well established. However, rupture of a descending atherosclerotic thoracic aortic aneurysm in association with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm can present a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem to the treating physician. This article presents a case of rupture of an atherosclerotic descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in the face of what clinically appeared to be a leaking or ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
