Suprarenal Aneurysm Treatment in Turkey
About Suprarenal Aneurysm
Key Highlights
-
Prevents life-threatening rupture of the abdominal aorta.Minimally invasive endovascular options (EVAR) often available, leading to smaller incisions.Helps preserve critical blood flow to the kidneys and other vital organs.Significantly reduces the risk of sudden death from internal bleeding.Coordinated care between nephrology and vascular surgery ensures comprehensive management of kidney-related risks.
Who is this surgery for?
- Aneurysm diameter greater than 5.5 cm or rapid growth (>0.5 cm in 6 months).
- Symptomatic aneurysm causing pain, tenderness, or embolism.
- High risk of rupture based on morphology (e.g., saccular shape).
- Patient with connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome) with a smaller aneurysm.
- Incidental finding during imaging for other conditions, meeting size criteria.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive imaging (CT angiography) to map the aneurysm's exact size and anatomy.
- Pre-operative cardiac and pulmonary evaluation to assess surgical risk.
- Management of blood pressure and kidney function by the nephrologist.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications as advised by the doctor.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding, infection, or blood clots.
- Kidney injury from contrast dye or reduced blood flow.
- Graft leakage (endoleak) or migration after endovascular repair.
- Spinal cord ischemia, potentially leading to paralysis (rare).
- Bowel ischemia, heart attack, stroke, or death.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay for monitoring; duration depends on procedure type (open vs. endovascular).
- Pain management and gradual resumption of diet and mobility.
- Regular follow-up imaging (CT scans) to monitor the repair, especially after EVAR.
- Lifelong management of blood pressure and healthy lifestyle changes.
- Avoidance of heavy lifting and strenuous activity for several weeks as advised.
-
Typical hospital stay:
3-7 days
-
Expected recovery time:
4-8 weeks

Michael Patel, a 58-year-old software engineer...
Michael Patel, a 58-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been active and health-conscious. During a routine physical for a new life insurance policy, his primary care doctor noted slightly elevated blood pressure. A subsequent abdominal ultrasound, ordered out of an abundance of caution, revealed a 2.8 cm incidental finding: a suprarenal aortic aneurysm, located just above his left kidney artery. Michael was asymptomatic but understandably anxious, having lost an uncle to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. His nephrologist, Dr. Chen, explained that while the aneurysm was below the immediate surgical threshold, its suprarenal location and Michael's relatively young age warranted close monitoring with annual CT angiograms. For three years, Michael lived with the 'ticking time bomb' anxiety, modifying his exercise routine and avoiding heavy lifting. At his most recent scan, the aneurysm had grown to 5.1 cm. Dr. Chen recommended an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with a fenestrated stent graft to preserve blood flow to his kidney. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. Michael spent two nights in the hospital and was home within a week, sore but relieved. Recovery involved gradual activity increase and lifelong follow-up scans. Emotionally, he transitioned from years of low-grade dread and hyper-vigilance about every abdominal twinge to a profound sense of relief and regained control over his life. He now advocates for proactive vascular screening.
