Abstract

The simultaneous presence of aneurysm rupture and a myocardial infarction are rare and the recognition of the two pathologies can be a significant diagnostic problem. We report our experience with a patient with ruptured left hypogastric aneurysm and myocardial infarction, successfully treated and controlled after 12 months. The speed of treatment and the multidisciplinary approach are essential for success in cases like this.
