Intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome after endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
To investigate the frequency of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after endovascular repair (EVAR) of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). ⋯ IAH and ACS are common and potential serious complications after EVAR for rAAA. Successful outcome depends on early recognition, early conservative treatment to reduce IAH and decompression laparotomy if ACS develops.
