Abstract EN

We report two HIV infected patients with ruptured abdominal aneurysm by using endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) technique.

A 59-year-old Thai man had a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and a 57-year-old man had a ruptured iliac artery aneurysm.

Both patients had a CD4 level below 200 μ/L indicating a low immune status at admission.

They were treated by EVAR.

Neither patient had any complications in 3 months postoperatively.

EVAR may have a role in HIV patients with ruptured abdominal aneurysm together with very low immunity.
