Femoral Aneurysm Treatment in India
About Femoral Aneurysm
Key Highlights
-
Prevents the life-threatening risk of aneurysm rupture and severe hemorrhage.Restores normal blood flow to the lower limb, preventing limb ischemia.Can often be performed using minimally invasive (endovascular) techniques for faster recovery.Alleviates symptoms such as pain, swelling, or a noticeable pulsating mass in the groin.Reduces the risk of clot formation within the aneurysm that could lead to embolism.Performed by specialized vascular surgeons with expertise in complex arterial repairs./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Aneurysm diameter greater than 2.5-3 cm or rapid enlargement on serial imaging.
- Symptomatic aneurysm causing pain, tenderness, or limb numbness.
- Evidence of distal embolization (clots breaking off and blocking smaller arteries).
- Associated popliteal artery aneurysm on the same side.
- Presence of a pseudoaneurysm (contained rupture) or signs of impending rupture.
- Patient with connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos) at higher rupture risk.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive vascular imaging, such as a duplex ultrasound, CT angiography, or MR angiography.
- Complete medical evaluation including cardiac and pulmonary assessment.
- Review and possible adjustment of current medications, especially blood thinners.
- Pre-operative blood tests and possibly an electrocardiogram (ECG).
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the scheduled procedure time.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (general, regional, or local) with the anesthesiologist.
- Informed consent process detailing the procedure, risks, and alternatives.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding, hematoma, or infection at the surgical site.
- Blood clot formation (deep vein thrombosis or graft thrombosis).
- Injury to nearby nerves, which may cause numbness or weakness.
- Graft infection, occlusion (blockage), or anastomotic leak.
- Limb ischemia or compartment syndrome in severe cases.
- Reaction to anesthesia or contrast dye used in imaging.
- Recurrence of the aneurysm or need for future re-intervention.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for monitoring of circulation, wound, and pain management.
- Early ambulation is encouraged to prevent blood clots, as tolerated.
- Wound care instructions to keep the incision site clean and dry.
- Prescription for pain medication and possibly blood thinners (antiplatelets).
- Avoidance of heavy lifting (more than 10 lbs) and strenuous activity for several weeks.
- Regular follow-up appointments and imaging (ultrasound) to monitor the repair.
- Gradual return to normal activities, with full recovery taking several weeks.
-
Typical hospital stay:
3-7 days
-
Expected recovery time:

Aadya Garcia, 68, is a retired...
Aadya Garcia, 68, is a retired school librarian who lives alone and enjoys gardening. For months, she had dismissed a persistent, dull ache in her right groin as a pulled muscle from weeding. The ache became a noticeable, throbbing lump. During a routine check-up, her primary care physician felt the pulsating mass and ordered an ultrasound, which revealed a 4.5cm femoral artery aneurysm. The vascular surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained the risk of rupture or clot formation was now significant. "It's like a weak spot on a garden hose," he said gently, recommending urgent endovascular repair. Aadya was terrified of surgery and worried about who would care for her home and cat. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. She spent one night in the hospital, sore but relieved. After two weeks of taking it easy, she was back to light gardening with a new appreciation for her health. Her anxiety transformed into cautious optimism, and she now attends her follow-up scans diligently, feeling empowered and cared for.
