During endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm, a catheter is threaded through the femoral artery to the weakened aorta. A synthetic stent graft is placed that hooks onto the arterial wall to provide support.
Also Known As:
- Endovascular stent grafting
- Femoral artery procedure
- Aorta surgery
Conditions Treated with Endovascular Stent Grafting for Aortic Aneurysm:
Endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm is used in cases of arteriovenous fistula, aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection.
There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm. Open aortic aneurysm repair is a surgical alternative to the procedure.
Anesthesia with Endovascular Stent Grafting for Aortic Aneurysm:
Endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm is performed with regional anesthesia.
Potential Complications from Endovascular Stent Grafting for Aortic Aneurysm:
Possible risks following endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm include infection, bleeding around the stent graft and a negative reaction to the anesthesia. It is also possible for the stent graft to become damaged or displaced.
Prognosis after Endovascular Stent Grafting for Aortic Aneurysm:
The prognosis for a positive end result following endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm is good. However, the procedure is still relatively new.
Recovery from Endovascular Stent Grafting for Aortic Aneurysm:
Total recovery from endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm takes two to three weeks.
