Aortic Aneurysm Surgery

Aortic aneurysm surgery is a procedure to repair a bulge in the aorta, the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart. This bulge can be dangerous if it grows too large or bursts. The surgery usually involves replacing the weakened section of the aorta with a synthetic graft, which is a tube made of durable material. This helps restore normal blood flow and reduces the risk of serious complications. The surgery can be done through open heart surgery or with minimally invasive techniques, depending on the size and location of the aneurysm.
