Rupture of an aortic abdominal aneurysm presenting as painful obstructive jaundice.

An unusual case of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is described. The patient presented with sudden abdominal pain and obstructive jaundice and was misdiagnosed as suffering from biliary colic. Two months later there was a pulsating mass in the abdomen palpated and the patient operated on. The only pathology which could explain the jaundice was an organized retroperitoneal hematoma extending from a small sealed rupture of the aneurysm towards the head of the pancreas and duodenum.

Aortocaval fistula due to rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Two patients with spontaneous aortocaval fistula due to a ruptured aortic abdominal aneurysm are described. This accident is one of the rarest complications of such an aneurysm and is a severe surgical emergency with widely varying symptoms. Although its recognition should be obvious, it poses both diagnostic and therapeutic problems. One of our patients survived following 45 days of hemodialysis treatment.

Vascular prosthetic bypass grafting in obstructive jaundice. Experimental and clinical perspectives.

The use of artificial grafts was proposed to facilitate the construction of palliative bilio-enteric bypass in proximal malignant biliary obstruction. Previous reported clinical experience is favorable. We present herein our preliminary clinical and experimental experience with Dacron and PTFE (Goretex) vascular grafts for the construction of bilio-duodenal bypass. Although our clinical results appear encouraging, the use of these prosthetic conduits is not supported by experimental data obtained in dogs.
