Abstract
A ruptured aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening condition that should be dealt with promptly and requires early management by a concerned specialist team. A ruptured aortic aneurysm can present with a wide array of symptoms, ranging from shortness of breath, chest pain, to sudden collapse. This is a case of a female in her 70s who presented to the emergency department after an unwitnessed collapse at home. Following early tests, it was determined that the patient had a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), which was deemed to be stable. She was then referred to the vascular team for additional treatment.
