Abstract 

We report a case of a 77-year-old man with a rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture in a retro-aortic left renal vein and in the retroperitoneum. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) assessment showed retroperitoneal bleeding from large AAA rupture into a retro-aortic left renal vein.

After arteriovenous fistula suture, the patient underwent a successful abdominal aorto-iliac repair with an uneventful postoperative course without renal complications.
