Aneurysm Repair

What is Aneurysm Repair?

Open surgery and endovascular repair are the two main types of surgery to repair an aneurysm. During open surgery, a surgeon makes a large cut in your belly or chest. The surgeon then replaces the damaged part of the aorta with a graft. Endovascular repair uses a much smaller incision than open surgery.

A rupture can cause life-threatening internal bleeding. In general, the larger the aneurysm and the faster it grows, the greater the risk of rupture. Symptoms that an aortic aneurysm has ruptured can include: Sudden, intense and persistent belly or back pain, which may feel like ripping or tearing.

  • Damage to surrounding blood vessels, organs, or other structures by instruments.
  • Kidney damage.
  • Limb ischemia (loss of blood flow to leg/feet) from clots.
  • Groin wound infection.
  • Groin hematoma (large blood-filled bruise)
  • Bleeding.
  • Damage to surrounding blood vessels, organs, or other structures.
  • Kidney damage.
  • Loss of blood flow to leg or feet from a blood clot.
  • Groin wound infection.
  • Groin hematoma (large blood-filled bruise)
