Hi,
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the abdominal aorta is enlarged. If not treated promptly, there is a risk of rupture and death. With aneurysm size > 7mm, intervention is indicated. Currently, there are two methods:
Open surgery (replacing the aneurysm of the abdominal aorta with an artificial tube). Using endovascular intervention (aortic stent grafting). Endovascular intervention is a minimally invasive method of intervention, the patient does not need to undergo major surgery. However, to do this, the patient has an appropriate anatomical lesion and requires high funding.
