A ruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is associated with an in-hospital mortality rate of 40% and an overall mortality rate of 60–80%. Open surgical repair for rAAA remains the principal method of treatment when endovascular repair is not available. Graft infection occurs in 1–4% of patients at 5 years, with a high incidence following emergency treatment. Other graft-related complications include pseudoaneurysm, graft occlusion and aorto-enteric fistula. This case report describes a 66-year-old male patient that was admitted to hospital complaining of intense abdominal pain, low blood pressure and tachycardia. He was diagnosed with a rAAA and treated using segmental resection of the abdominal aorta followed by reconstruction with a synthetic Dacron prosthesis. A pedicle omental flap was wrapped around the prosthetic graft and it was also used to fill the retroperitoneal cavity in order to reduce the risk of graft-related complications. Computed tomography angiography after 6 months showed good integration of the aortic prosthetic graft and the viability of the omental flap. In our opinion, vascular surgeons should consider the pedicle omental flap when they perform open surgical repair for rAAA in order to reduce the incidence of graft-related complications.
