Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta is a life-threatening and rare pathology that often occurs after blunt trauma or penetrating injuries. In suprarenal pseudoaneurysms, surgery is complicated by the classic approach, as access to the abdominal aorta is difficult due to the complex anatomy, with a high risk of bleeding. Therefore, hybrid solutions should always be considered in areas with a high risk of spontaneous rupture. In this case report, we presented a successful hybrid surgical option with endovascular aortic stent grafting and visceral debranching in a 20-year-old male patient with an abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm.
