Aneurysm Surgery in West Bengal

Is aneurysm surgery an emergency?

It can be, if the aneurysm has ruptured or is leaking; unruptured aneurysms found on a scan are often scheduled electively based on size and risk.

What's the difference between open and endovascular repair?

Open repair is more invasive with a longer recovery but has a long track record, while endovascular repair is less invasive with faster recovery but may need more frequent follow-up imaging.

What happens if an aneurysm ruptures?

A ruptured aneurysm is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate surgery, with significantly higher risk than planned, elective repair.

How is a small aneurysm managed if surgery isn't needed yet?

Small aneurysms below the risk threshold are usually monitored with regular imaging and blood pressure control rather than immediate surgery.

What is the long-term outlook after repair?

Most patients do well long-term after successful repair, though ongoing monitoring and cardiovascular risk-factor control remain important.
