Blunt abdominal aortic injury may accompany bowel transection

: Blunt abdominal aortic injury is an extremely rare condition. In the past, when blunt abdominal aortic injury was managed with open surgery, intra-abdominal injury was identified more easily, while in the era of endovascular surgery, intra-abdominal injury might potentially be found after vascular reconstruction. We present a case of blunt abdominal aortic injury treated using a parallel graft-stent and simultaneous laparoscopy which revealed an occult bowel perforation.
