At BLK Super Speciality Hospital physicians address aortic aneurysm in the General And Minimal Access Surgery Department. Surgeons utilize two abdominal aortic aneurysm treatment options: minimally invasive stent placement or open repair surgery.
Repair surgery is carried out by a team of surgeons over the course of 3-6 hours. A patient stays under general anesthesia and connected to heart-lung bypass device during the procedure. Rehabilitation after the intervention may take up to 6 months.
During minimally invasive procedure a stent is placed in the dilated part of patient’s aorta. There is no need for a rehabilitation. Patients are usually dismissed on the same day the operation is carried out.
