He described the pain to be stabbing in nature, radiating to his back and very severe (10 on a scale of 0-10). His past medical history was significant for smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery heart disease. On physical examination, he was found to be tachycardic and hypotensive. On abdominal examination, there was a large pulsatile mass in his abdomen. Both femoral pulses were palpable but weak. A computed tomographic (CT) scan of his abdomen showed that there was loss of the fat plane between the aorta and the surrounding tissues and a large retroperitoneal hematoma (Figures 30-1 and 30-2).
