Aneurysm Repair in Ranchi
Evaluation and repair of selected aortic and peripheral aneurysms using open or endovascular techniques depending on anatomy, size and rupture risk.
What is an aneurysm?
An aneurysm is an abnormal widening of an artery caused by weakening of the vessel wall. Depending on location and size, it may be monitored or repaired to reduce the risk of rupture or other complications.
Aneurysms treated by vascular specialists
Enlargement of the main artery in the abdomen.
Aneurysms involving arteries such as popliteal or femoral vessels.
Selected aneurysms involving arteries supplying abdominal organs.
Many aneurysms are silent
Some aneurysms are found incidentally on ultrasound or CT. Larger or complicated aneurysms may cause abdominal, back or limb pain, pulsatile swelling, embolisation or reduced circulation.
Sudden severe abdominal or back pain, fainting or collapse can indicate rupture and requires emergency care.
How is an aneurysm evaluated?
Ultrasound, CT angiography or MR angiography may be used to define size, location, anatomy and suitability for open or endovascular repair.
Observation or repair?
Smaller stable aneurysms may be followed with periodic imaging.
Blood pressure, smoking and cardiovascular risk reduction are important.
The diseased artery is replaced or bypassed with a graft.
A stent-graft is placed through the arteries in selected anatomy.
How aneurysm repair is planned
The choice between open surgery and endovascular repair depends on aneurysm anatomy, size, location, rupture risk, patient age, kidney function and overall operative risk.
Recovery after aneurysm repair
Endovascular repair
Often involves shorter hospital stay and faster initial recovery.
Open repair
Requires a larger operation and longer recovery but may be preferable in selected anatomy.
What risks should patients understand?
Risks may include bleeding, kidney injury, heart complications, limb circulation problems, graft infection, endoleak after endovascular repair and need for future surveillance or re-intervention.
Aneurysm repair cost
Cost depends on CT angiography, stent-graft or surgical graft, ICU need, anaesthesia and length of stay.
Get exact estimateCoverage depends on diagnosis, medical necessity, device costs, policy or scheme rules and empanelment.
Frequently asked questions
No. Small stable aneurysms may be monitored with imaging and risk-factor control.
