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