How to prepare
- Comprehensive imaging studies, including a CT angiogram or ultrasound, to precisely map the aneurysm's size and location.
- Pre-operative cardiac and pulmonary evaluation to assess surgical risk.
- Blood tests and medication review; patients may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) temporarily.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the procedure.
- Discussion of the surgical plan, including the choice between open and endovascular repair, and obtaining informed consent.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding, infection, or blood clot formation at the surgical site.
- Injury to nearby structures such as the ureters, intestines, or nerves.
- Endoleak (persistent blood flow into the aneurysm sac) after stent graft placement, requiring further intervention.
- Graft infection, migration, or blockage.
- Impaired blood flow to the legs (ischemia) or sexual dysfunction due to nerve or vascular disruption.
- General risks of anesthesia and major surgery, including heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems.
Recovery & hospital stay

- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Gradual resumption of walking and light activities as tolerated; heavy lifting is restricted for 4-6 weeks.
