What is Aortic Aneurysm Repair?

Aortic aneurysm repair involves removing or reinforcing the weakened section of the aorta to prevent rupture. The two primary methods include:

1. Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR/TEVAR) – A minimally invasive procedure where a stent graft (a tube made of fabric and metal) is placed inside the aorta to reinforce the weak area.
2. Open Aneurysm Repair – A traditional surgery where the damaged part of the aorta is replaced with a synthetic graft.

The choice of procedure depends on the aneurysm’s size, location, and the patient’s overall health.
