Although peripheral arterial embolism is a common vascular disease, abdominal aortic saddle embolism (ASE) is rare. However, ASE is considered to be quite severe. A rapid and accurate diagnosis followed by timely and appropriate medical intervention is the key to minimize the risk of severe complications and reduce the risk of mortality. We report the case of an 84‐year‐old female patient who was diagnosed with acute ASE. She was successfully treated using thrombolytic therapy through a bilateral femoral arterial puncture catheter. Our report aims at raising awareness of this potentially fatal disease, highlighting the importance of rapid diagnosis and timely treatment, and exploring the possibility of endovascular treatment for ASE in the future.
