Aneurysm Repair

Expert Aneurysm Repair in Pakistan

Receive world-class care for aortic aneurysms with personalized, minimally invasive treatment from leading vascular surgeons. Your long-term health and well-being are our highest priorities.

What is an Aneurysm?

An aneurysm is a bulge or swelling in a weak spot on the wall of a blood vessel, most commonly an artery. While they can occur in any blood vessel, they are most often found in the aorta, the body’s main artery. If an aortic aneurysm grows too large, it can rupture, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding. Early detection and expert treatment are crucial to prevent this serious complication and ensure your long-term health.

When is Surgery Necessary?

Surgery is typically recommended when the risk of the aneurysm rupturing outweighs the risks of the procedure itself. Your vascular surgeon will consider several factors to determine if surgery is the right option for you:

  • Size: Aneurysms larger than 5.5 cm in diameter are often considered for repair.
  • Growth Rate: An aneurysm that is growing quickly (more than 0.5 cm in six months) may require intervention.
  • Symptoms: The presence of symptoms like abdominal or back pain can indicate an increased risk of rupture.
  • Overall Health: Your general health and ability to undergo surgery are also important considerations.

Preparing for Your Surgery

Proper preparation is key to a successful outcome. Our team will provide you with a detailed, personalized plan, which typically includes:

  • Medical Evaluation: A thorough assessment of your heart, lungs, and kidney function.
  • Imaging Tests: CT scans or ultrasounds to get a precise view of the aneurysm.
  • Medication Adjustments: You may be asked to stop taking certain medications, like blood thinners, before the procedure.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Quitting smoking and managing blood pressure can improve your surgical results.

The Surgical
Procedure

We specialize in two primary methods for aneurysm repair, both performed in our state-of-the-art facilities.

1

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

  • This is a minimally invasive technique. A small incision is made in the groin, and a stent graft is inserted through a catheter and guided to the aneurysm. The graft reinforces the weakened artery wall from the inside, preventing rupture.

2

Open Surgical Repair:

  •  This traditional method involves an incision in the abdomen to access the aorta. The surgeon replaces the damaged section of the artery with a synthetic graft.

Monitoring and Care

1

Medical and Surgical Care

  • Throughout your journey, you will be under the care of a dedicated team. Before, during, and after your procedure, our expert medical and surgical staff will monitor your condition closely to ensure your safety and promote a smooth recovery. We utilize advanced monitoring technology to track your vital signs and the status of your vascular health.

When to Call a Doctor

After your procedure, it is important to watch for any signs of complications. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience:

  • Fever or chills
  • Redness, swelling, or drainage from your incision
  • Severe or persistent pain in your abdomen, back, or legs
  • Swelling in your legs or feet
  • Shortness of breath

Risks and Complications

While aneurysm repair is generally safe, all surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Our team takes every precaution to minimize complications, which can include:

  • Bleeding or infection at the incision site
  • Blood clots
  • Damage to surrounding blood vessels or organs
  • Issues with the graft, such as leakage (endoleak) in EVAR
  • Heart, lung, or kidney complications.

Recovery and Follow-Up

Your recovery will depend on the type of surgery you have.

  • EVAR Recovery: Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1-3 days and can return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.
  • Open Surgery Recovery: This requires a longer hospital stay of 5-7 days, with a full recovery period of 6-8 weeks.

Frequently Ask Question

The cost varies depending on the type of surgery (EVAR or open), the hospital, and your specific medical needs. We provide a detailed cost estimate after your initial consultation.
