Abstract

Aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA) is an uncommon etiology of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The authors report a case of an 81-year-old male patient who presented with hematuria, intraoral hemorrhage, melaenas and ecchymosis of the lower back and of the abdominal wall, after being medicated with etoricoxib for a back pain. During the study, an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which prolonged to the left common and internal iliac artery, was discovered. The diagnosis of AAA induced DIC was made. After endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), the patient’s hemorrhagic manifestations disappeared and the laboratory findings normalized. In conclusion, the state-of-the-art treatment of DIC is the elimination of the underlying disease; in this case, EVAR was proven to be effective in treating the aortic aneurysm and the AAA-related DIC.
