A man in his 80s underwent urgent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA). Surgery was completed without apparent complications, and the patient was returned to the Cardiac Care Unit. Two hours later, he again developed shock, and contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography showed extravasation from a type II endoleak (T2EL) involving the IMA. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was immediately performed, and the patient’s vital signs stabilized soon after embolization. Abdominal compartment syndrome was suspected during the procedure, so a retroperitoneal hematoma evacuation was performed. The patient’s postoperative course was satisfactory, and he transferred to another hospital.EVAR for RAAA would be useful, but it is necessary to be considered that T2EL can cause the aggravation of unstable circulation.
