Aortic aneurysm & dissection

Stent-graft repair of the aorta through the groin — avoiding open chest or abdominal surgery.

What it is

The aorta is the body's main artery. An aneurysm is a ballooning of its wall; a dissection is a tear in its layers. Both are serious, and both can now usually be repaired from within: a fabric-covered stent-graft is delivered through the groin arteries and lined up inside the aorta, excluding the weakened segment — no open chest or abdominal surgery.

How the procedure works

01

CT planning

A CT angiogram maps the aneurysm precisely and the stent-graft is sized to your anatomy.

02

Groin access

Small entries at both groins under regional or local anesthesia — no large incision.

03

Stent-graft deployment

Under live imaging, the graft opens inside the aorta and seals the aneurysm out of circulation.

04

Short stay & surveillance

Most patients are home within a day or two, with periodic scans to confirm the repair.

Recovery

1–2 daystypical hospital stay
Noopen surgery
Lifelongimaging surveillance plan

Asked at almost every consultation

How does this compare with open repair?

Endovascular repair avoids a major operation, has substantially faster recovery, and is the preferred option for suitable anatomy. Open surgery remains right for some cases — the CT decides.

I have an aneurysm on a scan. How urgent is it?

It depends on size and growth rate. Small aneurysms are monitored; larger ones are repaired before they become emergencies. Bring your scan — the threshold rules are clear.

Does stress or cholesterol cause dissection?

Uncontrolled blood pressure is the biggest driver; cholesterol, smoking and connective-tissue conditions contribute. Managing these is part of the treatment plan.
