Emergency No: 08062136599An aneurysm is a condition which causes artery enlargement due to arterial wall weakness. This condition occurs when the pressure of the blood forces the weakest artery to balloon outward or if there is a weakening of blood vessels for a different reason. It is an abnormal bulge in the blood vessel wall which can rupture, leading to internal bleeding and often causes death. Usually, this condition doesn’t cause any symptoms, so it becomes difficult to identify even when it’s large. It affects the aorta, thoracic aortic, brain, blood vessels in other body parts, and abdominal aortic.
There are different types of the aneurysm such as:

After assessing the condition, the doctor will recommend an aneurysm treatment depending on the symptoms of an individual. Treatment aims to avert the aneurysm from bursting. Treatment might involve medications and surgery depending on its size, location, and type. The doctor generally prescribes medications that help in improving the blood flow, and blood pressure and manage cholesterol levels.
There are different surgical options recommended by the doctor if an aneurysm bursting is suspected. Here are these options:

This surgical procedure is recommended for patients who have a higher risk or are too sick, or too old for open heart surgery. It was first tested in 2002 on patients with severe aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic valve opening), who were considered unfit for open heart surgery.
Heart failure is a serious condition marked by the inefficiency of the heart muscles to pump blood to different parts of the body. Also referred to as congestive heart failure, the condition can prove to be life-threatening if not addressed immediately. Such patients are often recommended to undergo a heart transplant, a surgical procedure that involves the replacement of a diseased or non-functional part of the patient’s heart with a healthy heart taken from a deceased donor.
Over the past few decades, various innovations and advancements in the field of cardiology have helped us to learn more and more about the human heart, its functioning, and the diseases that affect it.
