Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to report the clinical outcomes of 4 patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) during (3 patients) or immediately after (1 patient) moderate-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. We discuss COVID-19-related mechanisms which could impact AAA rupture. Patients and Methods: During the period of the pandemic (March 2020—May 2021), we performed surgery in 18 patients with ruptured AAA. Four patients were affected by moderate or severe SARS-CoV-2 infection (in 3 patients the rupture occurred during the infection and in 1 patient 3. months after discharge from the hospital). Two patients underwent open repair and 2 endovascular surgery. Results: No postoperative mortality and no major complication occurred. Rapid growth of the AAA in comparison with a previous Duplex scan was evident in all 4 patients. Conclusions: Family doctors and vascular surgeons should be aware about the possibility of AAA degeneration in patients with moderate-severe COVID19 infection. The risk is increased by steroid therapy which is essential in more advanced stages of the infection. In this clinical setting, endovascular repair is a valid choice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
