Aortic Aneurysm Surgery

An aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of a blood vessel. When this enlargement is extreme, there is a risk of rupture. Aneurysms can be treated with surgical replacement, usually with a synthetic tube graft. In some cases, replacement of the aortic valve is required as well. An aortic aneurysm is different from aortic dissection. An aortic aneurysm may be able to be treated without surgery. An aortic dissection is a separation of the layers of the aortic wall. An aortic dissection is potentially fatal and almost always requires emergency surgery.
