The posterior approach for lumbar disc herniation surgeries is one of the most used methods worldwide [1]. Though rare, vascular issues can occur during surgery on the lower spine, with reported cases of arteriovenous fistulas, pseudoaneurysms, and vascular lacerations [2, 3]. Aortic tears, an uncommon yet serious complication of spinal surgery, have been documented [2].We report a specific instance of aortic injury following a left L3L4 lumbar disc herniation repair through the posterior approach, managed using an endovascular procedure called CERAB (Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortic Bifurcation).
