Surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm treatment includes:
- Synthetic graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Replacement of the diseased vessel with man-made material.
- Stenting for abdominal aortic aneurysm
- A tube is inserted into the artery, which provides strength to the weakened wall.
Treatment for small abdominal aortic aneurysms may include:
- Abdominal aneurysms that are less than 1.5 inches wide often cause no symptoms and do not require treatment.
- An aneurysm that is causing pain or one that is larger than 2 inches (5 cm) requires elective surgery to repair the aorta.
