Aortic aneurysm information and locations in Mexico
An aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge that appears in the aorta. The aorta is the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Treatment for aortic aneurysm can include medications and surgery. While medicine help reduce blood pressure and the risk of an aneurysm, surgery is the best approach to repair an affected part of the aortic.
Endovascular repair is the method most used to treat aortic aneurysm, this procedure consists of inserting a catheter through an artery in the leg, then, this tube is guided to the affected aorta. The cardiovascular surgeon places a mesh or stent to strengthen the area and prevent the aneurysm from bursting.
