A 61-year-old male presented with severe abdominal pain and a non-contrast CT scan revealing a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The patient was awake, alert, and hemodynamically stable upon arrival at Stanford via helicopter. After an immediate transfer to the operating room, surgical intervention was carried out for the AAA, with a GORE stent placement including a main body and bifurcation cuffs. The patient was monitored in the ICU and showed a steady recovery, transferring to the floor by post-operative day two and discharged home by day five.
