Aortic Aneurysm Surgery

Thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms that are large, causing symptoms, or rapidly getting bigger are considered at risk of rupturing. A repair surgery or procedure is usually recommended if any one of these factors is present. A doctor uses a man-made graft to repair an aortic aneurysm.
Your doctor will consider:
Whether you need the aneurysm repaired right away.
Whether you will be able to withstand a surgery or procedure.
The shape and location of your aneurysm to see which repair option is possible.
