About Aneurysmectomy

An aneurysmectomy is a critical vascular surgery performed to remove a weakened, bulging section of an artery, known as an aneurysm, before it ruptures. This life-saving procedure is most commonly performed on the aorta (the body's main artery) but can also address aneurysms in other vessels. During the operation, a vascular surgeon makes an incision to access the aneurysm, clamps the artery, and removes the dilated segment. The artery is then reconstructed, often using a synthetic graft to restore normal blood flow. This open surgical approach is a definitive treatment for large or fast-growing aneurysms, effectively preventing the catastrophic internal bleeding associated with a rupture. It requires significant expertise and is tailored to the aneurysm's specific location and the patient's overall health.

Key Highlights

    Definitively removes the risk of aneurysm rupture, a life-threatening emergency.Provides a durable, long-term solution for vascular health.Performed by specialized vascular surgeons with extensive training.Direct visualization allows for precise repair and graft placement.Can be performed electively on stable aneurysms, leading to better outcomes than emergency surgery.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Aortic or other arterial aneurysm exceeding 5.5 cm in diameter (or 5.0 cm for women).
  • Rapid growth of an aneurysm (more than 0.5 cm per year).
  • Symptomatic aneurysm causing pain, tenderness, or pressure.
  • Aneurysm with a high risk of rupture based on shape or location.
  • Patient with a connective tissue disorder (e.g., Marfan syndrome) and a smaller aneurysm.
  • Failed or unsuitable for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive pre-operative assessment including cardiac and pulmonary evaluation.
  • Imaging studies like CT angiography or MRI to map the aneurysm's exact size and location.
  • Blood tests and management of existing conditions like hypertension or diabetes.
  • Discussion of medications; stopping blood thinners like aspirin or warfarin as advised.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery.
  • Informed consent process detailing the procedure, risks, and alternatives.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding, infection, or blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism).
  • Damage to nearby organs, nerves, or blood vessels.
  • Heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.
  • Graft infection, leakage, or blockage.
  • Paralysis (a rare but serious risk in thoracic aortic surgery).
  • Erectile dysfunction (risk in abdominal aortic surgery near pelvic nerves).
  • General anesthesia risks.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial recovery in the ICU for 1-2 days for close monitoring.
  • Hospital stay typically lasts 5-10 days for pain management and mobility assistance.
  • Incision care is crucial to prevent infection; avoid heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks.
  • Gradual increase in walking is encouraged to promote circulation and healing.
  • Follow a heart-healthy diet and strictly manage blood pressure.
  • Attend all follow-up appointments for imaging scans to monitor the graft.
  • Complete recovery to normal activities may take 2-3 months.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks
