Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is a surgical procedure performed to treat an aneurysm in the abdominal portion of the aorta, the body’s largest artery. An aneurysm in this area can be life-threatening if it ruptures, as it can cause severe internal bleeding. The surgery involves removing the aneurysm and repairing or replacing the weakened section of the aorta.

This repair is typically done through open surgery or minimally invasive endovascular surgery, depending on the size and location of the aneurysm. The goal is to restore blood flow, prevent rupture, and improve the overall health of the aorta.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is crucial for preventing life-threatening complications and ensuring long-term cardiovascular health.
