Visceral Aneurysm Treatment in Turkey
About Visceral Aneurysm
Key Highlights
-
Prevents life-threatening rupture of the aneurysm and internal bleeding.Restores normal, safe blood flow to vital abdominal organs (viscera).May be performed using minimally invasive (endovascular) techniques for faster recovery.Highly specialized procedure performed by vascular surgeons with expertise in complex abdominal anatomy.Can significantly improve long-term prognosis and quality of life when performed electively.
Who is this surgery for?
- Aneurysm diameter larger than 2 cm or showing rapid growth on imaging.
- Symptomatic aneurysm causing abdominal or back pain.
- Evidence of impending rupture, such as a contained leak or significant mural thrombus.
- Aneurysm in a high-risk location (e.g., splenic artery in a woman of childbearing age).
- Patient with connective tissue disorders (like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) increasing rupture risk.
- Incidental discovery in a patient scheduled for another abdominal surgery.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive imaging studies (CT angiography, MRI, or ultrasound) to map the aneurysm's exact size and location.
- Complete medical evaluation including cardiac and pulmonary function tests.
- Blood tests to assess kidney function and clotting ability.
- Discussion of all medication use; patients may need to stop blood thinners (anticoagulants) days before surgery.
- Pre-operative fasting for at least 8 hours before the procedure.
- Informed consent process detailing the risks, benefits, and alternatives to surgery.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding during or after the procedure, potentially requiring transfusion.
- Infection at the surgical site or within the abdomen.
- Damage to nearby organs (intestines, kidneys) or nerves.
- Blood clot formation leading to stroke, heart attack, or limb ischemia.
- Graft or stent-related complications (leakage, infection, blockage, or migration).
- Kidney injury, especially from contrast dye used in imaging.
- Risk of aneurysm recurrence or need for re-intervention.
- General risks of anesthesia and major surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial recovery in a hospital setting for monitoring of vital signs and organ function.
- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Gradual resumption of diet and mobility as tolerated.
- For open surgery, care for the abdominal incision to prevent infection.
- Lifelong follow-up with imaging (ultrasound or CT scans) to monitor the repair.
- Activity restrictions: avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks.
- Management of underlying conditions like high blood pressure to protect vascular health.
- Prompt reporting of any new abdominal pain, fever, or bleeding to the surgeon.
