Retroperitoneal hematoma following abdominal aortic aneurysm repair anti-coagulant induced case study and review

Retroperitoneal hematoma formation following elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair may be occult. Evacuation of the hematoma rapidly restores venous return and hemodynamics. But This report describes a case of retroperitoneal hematoma formation anti coagulation induced and highlights challenges associated with diagnosing bleeding in this case.
