title: Ruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta.
abstract: There is a sufficient time lag between leakage from an abdominal aneurysm and the final exsanguinating hemorrhage in most cases so that the diagnosis can be established and surgical treatment instituted. Under these circumstances technical methods have been developed sufficiently satisfactorily so that a much better salvage rate can be expected.Four consecutive successful cases are reported as examples.
