# The Rise and Fall of Well-Controlled Blood Pressure: Labile Hypertension Following Repair of a Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

## TL;DR

This paper discusses a rare case of uncontrolled high blood pressure after a surgical repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient with no prior history of hypertension.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel case linking endovascular aortic repair to the development of labile hypertension.

## Key findings

- A patient developed labile hypertension following endovascular aortic repair.
- The patient had no prior history of hypertension.
- This case highlights a rare complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

## Abstract

Hypertension is a common pathology with several etiologies. If left uncontrolled, severe and even fatal complications can develop, including heart disease, vascular damage, and stroke. Primary hypertension is most commonly seen without an underlying etiology; however, several contributing factors can lead to the development of hypertension. There have been limited cases reporting the effects of an abdominal aortic dissection treated with endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) on the development of labile hypertension. We report a case of uncontrolled, labile hypertension following an EVAR of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient without prior medical history of hypertension.
