Report A 55-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a large hematoma around the stomach with contrast extravasation at the right GEAA. An emergency laparoscopic aneurysmectomy was performed. Discussion We report our experience of successful laparoscopic aneurysmectomy for a ruptured GEAA.
