Open Aneurysm Repair
Open Aneurysm Repair is a surgical procedure used to treat an aneurysm, which is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by weakness in the vessel wall. During the surgery, a large incision is made to access the affected blood vessel. The surgeon then removes the aneurysm and replaces it with a synthetic graft to restore normal blood flow.
This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay for recovery. Open Aneurysm Repair is often recommended for larger or symptomatic aneurysms, as it can help prevent serious complications like rupture or internal bleeding.
