Aneurysm Repair is a surgical procedure designed to address an aneurysm, a weakened and bulging area in the wall of an artery. This condition poses a significant risk as it can potentially rupture, leading to severe internal bleeding and life-threatening consequences. The repair process involves different techniques tailored to the location, size, and type of aneurysm. Two primary approaches are commonly employed: open surgery and endovascular repair. Open surgery involves making an incision to access the affected artery directly, allowing surgeons to place a graft or a synthetic tube to reinforce the weakened vessel wall and prevent rupture. This method requires longer recovery times and entails more significant risks due to its invasive nature. On the other hand, endovascular repair, a minimally invasive technique, involves inserting a catheter through a small incision, guiding it through blood vessels to the site of the aneurysm. Using imaging technology, a stent or a coil is placed within the aneurysm, providing support and reinforcing the artery wall from the inside. This approach generally results in shorter recovery periods and reduced risks compared to open surgery. Both procedures aim to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing, thereby averting potentially fatal bleeding. Post-operative care involves close monitoring, lifestyle changes, and medication to manage blood pressure and reduce the risk of future aneurysms. Aneurysm repair is a crucial intervention that helps mitigate the dangers posed by this vascular condition, enhancing patients' chances of a healthier and safer life.
