The aorta is the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an enlarged and weakened area in the lower part of the wall of the aorta. A normal aorta is approximately one inch or less in diameter and it runs from the heart passing through the center of the chest and abdomen. In general, aneurysms can develop anywhere along the length of aorta. Aneurysms in the upper part of the aorta are called thoracic aortic aneurysms. But, aneurysms are more common in lower parts of aorta and called as abdominal aortic aneurysms. These aneurysms may also be referred to as AAA or triple A.

But, aneurysms are more common in lower parts of aorta and called as abdominal aortic aneurysms. These aneurysms may also be referred to as AAA or triple A. An aneurysm can grow to be more than five inches in diameter. Due to high pressure of blood flowing through the artery, the weakened area enlarges like a balloon. It is more common to see large aneurysms bursting as compared to the smaller ones.This results in internal bleeding that can lead to death unless treated immediately by an experienced cardiovascular surgeon. AAAs are considered a serious health condition because they can burst or rupture. Only about half of patients with a ruptured AAA who get to a hospital survive. Treatment of AAA may vary from watchful waiting to emergency surgery depending on the size and rate at it is growing. Once a diagnosis of AAA is made, doctors will closely monitor it so that surgery can be planned if it's necessary. It is very risky to wait for surgery till the time AAA ruptures. Risk factors Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm include:Increasing Age. AAAs are seen most often in people age 65 and older.Smoking. Smoking is a strong risk factor for the development of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The duration of smoking is directly proportional to the risk. Atherosclerosis. The buildup of plaque that can damage the lining of a blood vessel is called Atherosclerosis. It increases the risk of an aneurysm. Male sex. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are much more common in men than women.Family history. An increased risk of AAA is seen in people who have a family member with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Also, aneurysms develop at a younger age and are at higher risk of rupture in people who have a family history of aneurysms.

It is a procedure in this a patient's faulty aortic valve is replaced .it is replaced with an artificial heart valve.Aortic valve surgery is required to replace the aortic valve in your heart if:blood leaks into the heart if aortic valve does not closeaortic valve does not open fully so blood flow is reducedThe aortic valve can be replaced using:Minimally invasive surgery:Open surgery: Description of surgery:You will receive general anesthesia before surgery.There are many ways to do surgery. Techniques include min-thoracotomy, min-sternotomy, robot-assisted surgery, and percutaneous surgery.To perform the different procedures:The muscles in the area will be divided by making cut in the right part of your chest.In robotic valve surgery, tiny cuts are made in your chest. Uses a computer robotic arms are controlled. In the operating room. A 3D view of the heart and aortic valve is referred.There are two types of new valves:Mechanical,Biological,The Procedure is performed because:It is done when the valve does not work properly. Surgery is done for the following reasons:Aortic valve changes are causing major heart symptoms, like chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting spells or finally heart failure.It is harming the work of your heart.affects to your heart valve from infectionthis procedure have benefits like less pain, blood loss, and risk of infectionRisks for any anesthesia are:BleedingBlood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungsBreathing problemsInfection, including in the lungs, kidneys, bladder, chest, or heart valvesReactions to medicinesDamage to other organs, nerves, or bonesHeart attack, stroke, or deathInfection of the new valveKidney failureIrregular heartbeat that must be treated with medicines or a pacemakerPoor healing of incisionBefore the ProcedureBe clear about following things:If you are pregnantmedicines you are takingStore blood in the blood bank during surgery.Stop taking medicines as it is making harder for your blood.During the days before your surgery:Medicines you take on the day of surgery.Stop smoking.If you have a cold, flu, fever any other illness tell the surgen.On the day of your surgery:Not to drink or eat after the night before your surgery.Take medicines with small quantity of water.After the ProcedureAfter surgery, you will spend a week maximum in the hospital.

An aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation of a blood vessel. The commonest site to develop an aneurysm is the aorta, at the back of the abdomen just below the kidneys. This is called the infrarenal aorta and an aneurysm in this area is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm and often referred to as an AAA. AAAs gradually grow at a rate of around 1 to 5 mm per year. The bigger they get, the more likely they are to burst. Ruptured AAA is a common cause of sudden death. Males are 8 times more the faster the grow, likely to be affected than females, and 1 in 20 men over the age of 65 have an AAA. However females with an aneurysm are more prone to rupture than their male counterparts. Aneurysm Surgery There are two ways to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm: open repair and endovascular (key-hole) repair using a stent-graft. Open Aneurysm Repair Open repair comprises replacement of the aneurysmal aorta with an artificial graft sutured into place just below the renal arteries. This is a major abdominal operation with significant risks involved. The risk depends on the extent of the aneurysm, and the age and fitness of the patient. Despite these concerns, the long term outlook after open repair is good and open aortic reconstruction is a very durable procedure that lasts for years without further intervention. Endovascular aneurysm repair Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) allows a stent-graft to be delivered inside the aneurysm via the femoral artery, then expanded and fixed in position under Xray guidance. The whole procedure can be achieved via small groin incisions. Recovery is much quicker than for open repair and less fit patients can be treated. The risk of severe complications is also much lower. Endovascular repair can be used for planned and emergency operations where the aneurysm has already ruptured. Blood loss is much lower and transfusion less likely to be required. Complex endovascular aneurysm repair (fenestrated and branched stent-grafts) Not all patients are suitable for endovascular repair. The shape and extent of the aneurysm mean some patients will require open surgery rather than a key-hole operation. Advances in stent-graft technology however are increasing the proportion of patients who can receive minimally invasive treatment. For example, fenestrated stent-grafts allow aneurysms which extend very close to the kidneys to receive key-hole surgery. Similarly, branched stent-graft devices allow treatment of aneurysms that extend deep into the pelvis involving arteries which supply the pelvic organs. Until recently, many such patients would have been unsuitable for such treatment and would have had to have open surgery for their aneurysms

Once a diagnosis of AAA is made, doctors will closely monitor it so that surgery can be planned if it's necessary. It is very risky to wait for surgery till the time AAA ruptures. Risk factors Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm include:Increasing Age. AAAs are seen most often in people age 65 and older.Smoking. Smoking is a strong risk factor for the development of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The duration of smoking is directly proportional to the risk. Atherosclerosis.

Also, aneurysms develop at a younger age and are at higher risk of rupture in people who have a family history of aneurysms. Aneurysms of aorta are more common in the abdominal part of aorta. The exact cause of abdominal aortic aneurysms is unknown, but various factors may play a role, which include: Smoking. Both, smoking as well as chewing other forms of appears to increase the risk of aortic aneurysms. Additionally, smoking causes direct damage to the arteries, contributing to the buildup of fatty plaques in arteries (atherosclerosis) and high blood pressure. Aneurysms tend to increases in size faster in smokers, further increasing the risk of rupture. Hardened arteries (atherosclerosis). Risk of aneurysm increases when fat and other substances build up on the lining of a blood vessel (a process called atherosclerosis). Aortic wall infection (vasculitis). Abdominal aortic aneurysm, in rare instances, may be caused by an infection or inflammation that weakens a section of the aortic wall.Abdominal aortic aneurysms are mostly slow growing and have no symptoms. This makes them difficult to detect. Some aneurysms will never rupture. Many aneurysms are small to begin with and stay small, although many expand over time. Some expand quickly. It is very difficult to predict how fast an abdominal aortic aneurysm may enlarge.Enlargement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm may lead to:Feeling of pulsations around navel area Deep, constant pain in your abdomen or on the side of your abdomenPain in back

When a person's kidneys fail, dialysis is often required if transplantation cannot be performed. Dialysis can be performed using the abdominal cavity (peritoneal dialysis) or by filtering the blood. In turn, blood for filtration can be obtained via a catheter or arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula). Catheters can be placed on short notice but have a short usable life-span and are difficult to care for. By contrast, a fistula requires surgery and cannot be used until they heal, but can last for years. Your nephrologist has recommended hemodialysis via a surgically constructed AV fistula. Many types of fistulas are possible, but it is best to use your own veins and arteries and stay as far out on the arm as possible. The purpose of today's visit is to discuss the mechanics of surgery and to identify the best possible site(s) for fistula creation, as well as to discuss tentative plans for future fistulas.

The aorta is the largest artery in the body, and it carries blood away from heart to the other parts of the body. The part of aorta that runs through the chest is called the thoracic aorta and, when it reaches the abdomen, it is called the abdominal aorta. When a weak area of your thoracic aorta expands or bulges, it is called a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).Thoracic aortic aneurysms are serious health risks because they can burst or rupture. A ruptured aneurysm can cause severe internal bleeding, which can rapidly lead to shock or death

Aorta is the main artery arrising from the heart. Heart pumps more than 5 ltr. of blood in to aorta every minute. Aneurysmal dilatation or dissection requires major surgical undertakings where whole of the aorta with or without aortic valve may require to be replaced by artificial conduits(either mechanical valve conduit or bio bentall procedure).

Aortic Aneurysm is the term for any swelling of the aorta 1.5 times more than the normal size; it occurs due to weakness of the wall of the aorta. Though it keeps on increasing in size for long time, it sometimes can rupture leading to sudden death.Aortic aneurysm can occur if the aorta becomes atherosclerotic, It can also occurs in certain diseases like Marfan s syndrome etc. Sometimes sudden dissection or separation of the layers of the wall of the aorta can lead to dissecting aneurysm.

Aorta is the greatest pipeline in body which supplies blood to Each and every organ of body through its branches. It is also prone to diseases like Degenerative changes lead to Aneurysm , Aortic block and Aortic dissection. Previously these diseases were considered untreatable but now a days we can treat such grave diseases with the risk of routine procedure successfully by means of open surgery (Gold standard), Hybrid procedures and Endovascular procedures . In cases of Acute aortic dissection Emergency repair is warranted because every minute counts.

An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery Aneurysms can form in any blood vessel, but they occur most commonly in the aorta (aortic aneurysm).Increase in the size of the aneurysm, causing it to press on other organs. This may cause pain.Aneurysm rupture. Because the artery wall thins at this spot, it is fragile and may burst under stress. The rupture of an aortic aneurysm is a catastrophic, life-threatening event.

Aortic aneurysms are the abnormal dilation of the great artery Aorta with supplies blood to the whole body by its several branches. Aortic surgery is a very complex form of operation and it requires trained TEAM effort. The team at Sir H.N. Hospital has vast experience in doing complex aortic operations. It has been observed throughout the world that a trained Team can reduce the mortality in aortic aneurysm surgery.

An aorta is the largest and the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. What is an aortic aneurysm? Normally the walls of the arteries are thick and muscular, allowing them to withstand a large amount of pressure. Occasionally, a weak area may develop in the wall of the artery. This makes the pressure within the artery to push outwards, creating a bulge or ballooned area called aneurysm. Aortic aneurysm is a bulge in a section of aorta; which makes it overstretched and weak. If untreated it can burst and cause serious complications too. It can form in any section of the aorta, but they are most common in belly area; this is called abdominal aortic aneurysm. It can also happen in the upper body; this is called thoracic aortic aneurysm.

Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Surgery: Disease processes affecting the ascending the aorta can result in fatal complications for the patient. The 2 commonest conditions affecting the aorta are: 1. Dilation of the proximal aorta due to weakness in its wall structure. This dilatation can cause massive increase in the size of the aorta and leaking of the aortic valve. 2. Dissection of the Aorta: The aorta is the first organ which takes the full force of blood ejected from the heart. Sometimes this can result in a tear in the wall of the aorta thereby causing a dissection within the layers of the aorta. Both these conditions are life threatening and require operation to deal with the aortic pathology and also with the leaking aortic valve. Treatment of these conditions require a very major operation to remove the diseased aorta and replace it with a synthetic graft. At the same time the valve can be repaired or replaced if needed. This operation is commonly done at AHI and in the last 45 patients that have been operated, all have survived. The accompanying pictures have been taken intra operatively.

An Aneurysm is an Abnormal area of localized widening of a blood vessel.The Aorta bulges at the site of an Aneurysm like a weak spot on a worn tire.Aortic Aneurysms are typically spindle-shaped and involve the aorta below the Arteries to the kidneys.The most common cause of an Aneurysm is Arteriosclerosis. Smoking is a major risk factor.Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms often do not cause symptoms. If they do, they may cause deep boring pain in the lower back or flank. Prominent abdominal pulsations may be present.X-rays of the Abdomen and other Radiologic tests including Ultrasound, CT, and MRI may be used in diagnosing and monitoring the aneurysm.Rupture of an Aortic Aneurysm is a Catastrophe.Repair of the Aneurysm can be done by surgery or endovascular Stenting.

Aortic Aneurysms are weaknesses or balloonings in the wall of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms require surgical treatment, since they can dissect (tear) or rupture (break open), both potentially fatal conditions.
