Aneurysm - An Overview by MIOT Hospitals

Aneurism is an abnormal bulge in any blood vessel of the body caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall. Aneurysms in heart, called as Aortic Aneurysm, most commonly occur in the aorta which is the main blood vessel from the heart. As the size of an aneurysm increases, there is an increased risk of rupture, which can result in severe haemorrhage or other complications including sudden death.

The conventional treatment for aneurysm is a major operation which involves blood transfusions, use of heart-lung machine with a longer hospital stay and sometimes with associated complications.

Endovascular Stenting

Endovascular Stenting (or Endovascular Stent Grafting) is a new technique without Open Surgery. In the new procedure a keyhole is made in the groin under local anaesthesia and a tube graft is introduced and placed inside the aneurysm. Hence instead of traditional open surgery (where opening of chest or abdomen are normally required), this new technique can be safely done in vast majority of patients.

Advantages of Endovascular Stenting

• After the procedure the patient can go home in about 3 day’s time.

• There is no need for a blood transfusion or use of heart-lung machine.

This procedure is done by a group of experts consisting of cardiac surgeons, interventional radiologists and interventional cardiologists. For planning and performing this procedure, 64 Slice CT Scan, advanced scans, MRI, and Digital Cath lab is necessary.
