Abstract
A 38-year-old man was involved in a traffic accident and experienced a heav y blow to the abdomen. He had traumatic abdominal aortic dissection with ri ght lower extremity ischemia. He underwent percutaneous balloon fenestratio n, which is safe and minimally invasive, for relief of right lower extremit y ischemia. He has been working for 2 years without any signs of vascular c ompromise. Percutaneous balloon fenestration is one of the few treatments f or traumatic abdominal aortic dissection.
