Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common chronic degenerative disease of the abdominal aorta leading to progressive dilatation, thrombosis, rupture and distal embolization. It is defined as exceed 30 mm or 50% increase in the normal diameter of the vessel and it is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. We report an exceptional case of an isolated AAA rupture in a 56 years old male with a previously undiagnosed AAA. The AAA rupture appeared during abdominal examination in the emergency department. It could be incidentally but also we want to emphasise that phsical examination or manuplation of abdomen should be done carefully if there are suspicion of AAA.

“…AAA is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. It is usually affect elderly men especially over the age of 65, and its prevalence is 1.0-8.9% in the general population [1][2][3][4] . The incidence and prevalence of AAA are increasing, due to elongation of life expectancy and use of imaging diagnostic technic.…”

This study aimed to present the treatment of a case of delay presenting of traumatic aortocaval fistula (ACF) and its effect on hemodynamic problem. A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with heart failure due to a 41-year-old traumatic ACF. ACF closure was performed by endovascular aortic stenting. His hospital course after procedure was complicated by severe bradycardia and torsades de pointes and excessive diuresis. We concluded the endovascular technique provided an attractive alternative to open surgical methods for repair of chronic ACF. However, in chronic cases, complications such as severe bradycardia (Nicoladoni-Branham sign) and excessive diuresis must be anticipated.
