title: Ruptured hypogastric artery aneurysms: a contemporary review.
abstract: The ruptured hypogastric artery aneurysm (RHAA) is a rare clinical entity with an evolving and dynamic therapeutic armamentarium. The anatomical location and varied clinical presentation can pose a challenge for successful repair. Recently, endovascular and hybrid operative repairs have significantly improved the historically high-operative mortality rate. We present an illustrative case and contemporary review of the literature with respect to RHAA.
