Abstract

Introduction. Abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm caused by autoimmune vasculitis is a rare complication. Clinical presentation of patients is often late with life–threatening complications.

Case Illustration: A 62–year–old male patient with infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm presenting with a 2–week worsening severe abdominal and lumbar pain with a history of uncontrolled hypertension and a history of oral ulcer. He was successfully treated with tube grafting through open surgical repair.

Conclusion: The pseudoaneurysm was successfully removed and replaced with a polyester tube graft with no perioperative complications and was discharged 5 days later
