RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Direct oral anticoagulants are commonly used instead of vitamin K antagonists in patients needing long-term anticoagulant treatment. As their use has become more popular, there is an increase possibility to perform a major surgery on an urgent or emergency basis on patients under nonvitamin-K antagonist oral anticoagulants. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm on a male patient under rivaroxaban and clopidogrel. Emergency open repair of the aneurysm was performed. No anti-Xa antidote was administered. The patient had an uneventful recovery. CONCLUSION: An open repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm under rivaroxaban is feasible. However, an antidote should be available in cases of uncontrolled diffused bleeding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of successful open repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm on a patient under rivaroxaban and clopidogrel.

Coronary artery aneurysms are encountered in daily cardiology practise but multiple giant-sized coronary artery aneurysms are extremely rare. We present an illustrative case of multiple giant aneurysms located throughout the coronary system (left main stem and all left, right, and circumflex branches) in a 57-year-old male with acute coronary syndrome. The case was managed successfully with on-pump quadruple coronary artery bypass grafting. To our knowledge, few cases of multiple giant aneurysms in all coronary vessels have been reported.
