How to Take Care of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm?

An artery is a type of blood vessel which carries blood from heart to different parts of the body. Along with blood, there is oxygen too. Aorta is the largest artery in the body. It starts from the left ventricle of the heart and continues down to the abdomen. With the help of periodic and regular circulation, it distributes oxygen to body parts. But there are some conditions which are related to aorta. They don’t let the heart perform in the way it should. One of those conditions is abdominal aortic aneurysm. If you are suffering from this condition too, then you should contact BLK. It is one of the best known abdominal aortic aneurysm hospitals in India.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is an inflammation of the aorta. It happens at the level of the abdomen. When this aneurysm ruptures, there is heavy bleeding which can be life threatening. When it is identified, doctors will closely monitor so that correct treatment can be planned. This condition grows very slowly and there are no symptoms which makes it difficult to diagnose. Some may never rupture. Some of the common symptoms are as follows -• Pulsating feeling near the navel.• Back pain.• Constant pain in the abdomen or near it.

Exact cause of this condition is not known but there are some risk factors associated with it –• Hardening of the arteries occurs when there is accumulation of fat and other substances.• Risk is increased by cigarette smoking and other forms of tobacco use.• High blood pressure is associated with increased risk of this condition as it damages and weakens aorta’s walls.• Other conditions include blood vessel diseases, infection in the aorta, trauma and heredity.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm in Delhi is done with the help of following surgeries –• Open Abdominal Surgery – It is an open procedure in which a synthetic tube known as graft is sewn into the place of the damaged section of the aorta. The recovery time of this procedure is around a month.• Endovascular Surgery – It is a minimally invasive surgery in which is used more frequently. A synthetic graft is attached to the end of a thin tube that is inserted through an artery in the leg and threaded up into the aorta.
