Open repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgery An aneurysm is a swelling or dilation of a weakened wall in an artery. Arterial aneurysms have a tendency to grow and burst causing life threatening bleeding. Treatment of this disease has been ongoing for many years through open surgical repair of the dilated artery. Using an abdominal incision, open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms allows complete removal of the aneurysm with replacement using a piece of Teflon tubing. Within the last five years a new approach to treating aortic aneurysms has been developed. This is a minimally endoscopic invasive approach that was pioneered by Surgical Care Associates in this area. For more information regarding this endovascular aneurysm repair, please refer to Stent Grafts of Aneurysms. Objective of Procedure Indications for procedure Possible adverse complications Mortality Recovery Questions related to this subject: Depends on size, larger aneurysms have higher rupture rates. All known aneurysms should be followed closely.

DCI Home Heart and Blood Vessel Diseases Aneurysm : Signs and Symptoms What Is ... Types Other Names Causes ... Links What Are the Signs and Symptoms of an Aneurysm? The signs and symptoms of an aortic aneurysm depend on the type of aneurysm, its location, and whether it has ruptured or is affecting other parts of the body. Aneurysms can develop and grow for years without causing any signs or symptoms. They often don't cause signs or symptoms until they rupture, grow large enough to press on nearby parts of the body, or block blood flow. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) develop slowly over years. They often don't have signs or symptoms unless they rupture. If you have an AAA, your doctor may feel a throbbing mass while checking your abdomen. When symptoms are present, they can include: A throbbing feeling in the abdomen Deep pain in your back or the side of your abdomen Steady, gnawing pain in your abdomen that lasts for hours or days

28. Aneurysm: Subclavian Aneurysm FAQ These seldom discussed aneurysms can be the result of trauma or disease. http://www.westga.edu/~wmaples/subclav.html

Subclavian Artery Aneurysm: Frequently Asked Questions. 1. What is an Aneurysm? An aneurysm is an abnormal dilation of a blood vessel. This involves all layers of the vessel wall. Aneurysms pose a risk to health due to their potential to rupture, thrombose or embolize. The most common blood vessels involved are the abdominal and thoracic aorta, and circle of Willis (brain). Aneurysms of the subclavian artery (under the clavicle) are uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all peripheral aneurysms. 2. What are the causes of Aneurysm of the Subclavian Artery? The most common causes are arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), thoracic outlet obstruction (a mechanical, poststenotic dilation), post-traumatic (i.e. gun-shot, blunt trauma), aberrant (malposition) right subclavian artery and miscellaneous. Rare causes include: syphilis, tuberculosis and abnormalities of the vessel wall (fibromuscular dysplasia). 3. What are the typical symptoms? In most cases an asymptomatic pulsatile mass is detected either above or below the clavicle (collar bone). Symptoms such as dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), stridor (difficulty breathing), chest pain, hoarseness, upper extremity fatigue, numbness/tingling and gangrene or ulceration of the fingers may develop with progressive enlargement of the aneurysm. These result from compression of adjacent structures (i.e. nerves, veins, trachea or esophagus), thromboembolism (blood clots breaking off from the wall of the aneurysm) or rupture into the soft tissues of the neck.

The small surgical skin incision follows the contour of the eyebrow. A tiny skull opening is made for exposure at the skull base where the cerebral aneurysm is located. After a surgical aneurysm clip is successfully placed at the neck of the aneurysm sac, the surgical opening is closed cosmetically. Metallic brain retractors are not used during surgery in order to avoid unwanted brain damage. Facts About This Surgery This method is minimally invasive because it utilizes a smaller hole in the bone as well as a smaller incision than conventional methods.

Brain Aneurysm - Describe Your Experience Brain Aneurysm Overview An aneurysm is an abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of a blood vessel. A cerebral aneurysm refers to a blood vessel within your brain that weakens over time and undergoes such widening. This usually occurs at the junctions of the large arteries at the base of your brain, in an area called the Circle of Willis As the blood vessel weakens, it begins to bulge out like a balloon. Often, as an aneurysm develops, it forms a neck with an associated dome, or balloonlike structure. The larger the balloon becomes, the greater the risk it may burst. You would then bleed into your brain.

Prevention An abnormal bulge or ballooning (dilation) in the wall of an artery caused by the pressure of blood flowing through a weakened area. The weakening may be the result of disease, injury, or a congenital defect of the arterial wall. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. An aneurysm that grows and becomes large enough can burst, causing dangerous, often fatal, bleeding inside the body. Most aneurysms occur in the aorta ventricle of the heart and travels through the chest and abdomen . An aneurysm that occurs in the aorta in the chest is called a thoracic aortic aneurysm .

Mayo Clinic specialists have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of aneurysms. Many aneurysms can now be treated without major surgery. Mayo physicians have helped pioneer the development of minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time and hospitalization. Recent research led by Mayo Clinic has also shed new light on when an aneurysm is best treated and when it is best left alone and closely monitored for changes. See Aortic Aneurysm Treatment See Cerebral Aneurysm Treatment About Aneurysms An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in an artery caused by a weakening of the artery's wall. Some aneurysms are caused by atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), the buildup of cholesterol and other fatty deposits, and hypertension (high blood pressure). Other aneurysms are caused by injury, infection or an inherited blood vessel weakness. Aneurysms can occur in any blood vessel, but they occur most often in the abdominal aorta and the cerebrum (brain).

40. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm [May 1996; 27-3] Discusses the effectiveness of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm. http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band27/b27-3.html

@import "../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Bandolier has been asked by a GP whether there is enough evidence about the effectiveness of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) for it to be introduced into his practice. To try and answer this we searched MEDLINE from 1993 to the present to see if there were any new reports which helped. There was no single source of information which brought this subject together, but we did find some interesting papers. RCT for AAA A recently published English randomised trial in Chichester [1] has tried to examine the incidence of rupture following AAA screening. It was the most useful report and worth examining in some detail. The setting was 15,775 men and women aged 65-80 years identified from GP registers and FHSA lists. These people were then randomised by computer to control and screening groups. Those randomised to screening were invited for abdominal ultrasonographic scanning by letter from their family practice; one reminder was sent if there was no reply. Aneurysm was defined as maximum aortic diameter of 3 cm or more. Annual re-scanning took place if the diameter was 3 - 4.4 cm, and at three-monthly intervals if it was 4.5 - 5.9 cm. This protocol was continued until February 1994 or until the patient died, underwent surgery or declined further follow-up. Aortic diameters of 6 cm or more, and increase of diameter of 1 cm or more in a year, or developments of symptoms attributable to the aneurysm all constituted criteria for considering surgery.
