Aortic Aneurysm

Aortic Aneurysm treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

An aortic aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Aortic aneurysms can occur anywhere along the aorta but most commonly occur in the abdominal aorta. Aortic aneurysms are usually asymptomatic, meaning they do not cause symptoms. However, as they grow larger, they can cause aortic dissection, a tear in the aortic wall that can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding. 

Aortic aneurysms can also rupture, causing internal bleeding. There are a number of risk factors for aortic aneurysms, including age, high blood pressure, smoking, and family history. Treatment typically involves monitoring the aneurysm and treating any underlying conditions. Surgery may also be necessary to repair or replace the aorta. Visit our cardiothoracic vascular surgery hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

Pre-procedure for Aortic Aneurysm

  • The patient will be asked to stop taking all blood thinners 2 weeks prior to the procedure.

  • A pre-operative cardiac evaluation will be done to assess the patient's heart function and to rule out any other cardiac conditions that may be present.

  • A CT scan or MRI will be done of the abdomen to assess the size and location of the aneurysm.

  • The patient will be asked to fast for 8 hours prior to the procedure.

  • The patient will be given general anaesthesia prior to the procedure.

Procedure for Aortic Aneurysm

The procedure for aortic aneurysm surgery is as follows:

  • The patient is given general anaesthesia and is placed on their back on the operating table.

  • An incision is made in the abdomen, and the surgeon accesses the aorta.

  • The section of the aorta that is affected by the aneurysm is removed and replaced with a synthetic graft.

  • The incision is closed, and the patient is taken to the recovery room.

  • Recovery from aortic aneurysm surgery typically takes 4-6 weeks. Patients may need to stay in the hospital for 7-10 days after surgery.

Post-procedure

After an aortic aneurysm surgery, the patient will be moved to a recovery room, where they will be monitored closely. Once the patient is stable, they will be moved to a hospital room. The hospital stay is usually around 7 days. 

During this time, the patient will be on a clear liquid diet and will gradually be able to eat solid foods. They will also be encouraged to walk around as much as possible to help with recovery. After being discharged from the hospital, the patient will need to take it easy for several weeks. They will need to avoid lifting heavy objects and strenuous activity. The patient will also need to follow up with their doctor for regular checkups. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.
