About Congenital Aneurysm

Congenital aneurysm repair is a specialized vascular surgery performed to treat a weakened, bulging blood vessel wall present from birth. These aneurysms, often found in the brain (cerebral) or aorta, pose a significant risk of rupture, leading to life-threatening hemorrhage or stroke. The primary goal is to prevent rupture by either surgically clipping the aneurysm neck (craniotomy for cerebral) or replacing the weakened aortic segment with a graft (open surgery or endovascular stent-grafting). The approach is tailored based on the aneurysm's size, location, and the patient's overall health. This procedure is a critical, often life-saving intervention that requires a highly skilled vascular or neurovascular surgical team to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term vascular health.

Key Highlights

    Prevents life-threatening rupture and internal bleeding.Can be performed using minimally invasive endovascular techniques for faster recovery in select cases.Addresses a structural defect to restore normal blood flow and vessel integrity.Tailored surgical approach based on precise imaging (CTA, MRA) for optimal planning.Performed by specialized vascular or neurovascular surgeons with expertise in complex congenital conditions.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Detection of a congenital aneurysm that is growing in size on serial imaging.
  • Aneurysm size exceeding a critical threshold (e.g., >5.5 cm for abdominal aorta, specific sizes for cerebral based on location).
  • Presence of symptoms such as pain, throbbing sensation, or neurological deficits.
  • High-risk morphology (e.g., irregular shape, daughter sacs) indicating increased rupture risk.
  • Family history of aneurysm rupture or connective tissue disorders like Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive imaging studies (CT Angiography, MR Angiography) to map the aneurysm's exact size, shape, and location.
  • Complete cardiac and pulmonary evaluation to assess fitness for surgery.
  • Blood tests and coagulation profile to manage bleeding risk.
  • Discussion of surgical options (open vs. endovascular), risks, and benefits with the surgical team.
  • Pre-operative instructions including fasting, medication adjustments (especially blood thinners), and hygiene protocols.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding, infection, or blood clot formation at the surgical site.
  • Damage to nearby nerves or organs during dissection.
  • Stroke or paralysis (particularly relevant for cerebral aneurysm repair).
  • Graft infection, leakage, or displacement in endovascular repairs.
  • Kidney injury from contrast dye used in imaging or endovascular procedures.
  • Risk of aneurysm recurrence or need for future re-intervention.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial monitoring in an intensive care unit (ICU) or high-dependency unit post-surgery.
  • Pain management and careful monitoring of vital signs and neurological status.
  • Gradual mobilization to prevent blood clots and promote circulation.
  • Adherence to wound care instructions and watching for signs of infection.
  • Lifestyle modifications including blood pressure control, smoking cessation, and avoiding heavy lifting.
  • Regular follow-up imaging (CT/MRI scans) to monitor the repair site and ensure long-term success.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks
