    For abdominal aneurysms, the current treatment guidelines for abdominal aortic aneurysms suggest elective surgical repair when the diameter of the aneurysm is greater than 5 cm (2 in). However, recent data on patients aged 60–76 suggest medical management for abdominal aneurysms with a diameter of less than 5.5 cm (2 in).

    Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a type of minimally-invasive endovascular surgery used to treat pathology of the aorta, most commonly an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). When used to treat thoracic aortic disease, the procedure is then specifically termed TEVAR for "thoracic endovascular aortic/aneurysm repair."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_aortic_surgery

    In 2003, OAS was surpassed by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) as the most common technique for repairing abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States. [1] Depending on the extent of the aorta repaired, an open aortic operation may be called an Infrarenal aortic repair, a Thoracic aortic repair, or a Thoracoabdominal aortic repair. A ...

  7. Aortic dissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_dissection

    Repair of an enlargement of the ascending aorta from an aortic aneurysm or previously unrecognized and untreated aortic dissections is recommended when greater than 5.5 cm (2.2 in) in size to decrease the risk of dissection. Repair may be recommended when greater than 4.5 cm (1.8 in) in size if the person has one of the several connective ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_colitis

    In addition, ischemic colitis is a well-recognized complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, when the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery is covered by the aortic graft. [13] [14] In a 1991 review concerning 2137 patients the accidental inferior mesenteric artery ligation was the most common cause (74%) of ischemic colitis. [15]

  9. Inflammatory aortic aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_Aortic_Aneurysm

    Inflammatory Aortic Aneurysms occur typically in a younger population compared to the typical Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm group. Risk of rupture for the IAA group, due to thinning of aneurysm walls, are also rare due to inflammation and fibrosis [4] Unruptured inflammatory AAAs are usually symptomatic: [citation needed] abdominal or back pain (70 ...
