Two modes of repair are available for an AAA: open aneurysm repair, and endovascular aneurysm repair . An intervention is often recommended if the aneurysm grows more than 1 cm per year or it is bigger than 5.5 cm. [52] Repair is also indicated for symptomatic aneurysms. Ten years after open AAA repair, the overall survival rate was 59%. [53]
Recently, there is some evidence VSARR has superior survival rates at 10 and 15 years along with reduced early mortality. [11] Moreover, while there is a decreased reoperation rate in the first 5 years seen with the Bentall procedure, the need for reoperation after Bentall and VSARR are then comparable thereafter.
Figure A shows a normal aorta. Figure B shows a thoracic aortic aneurysm (which is located behind the heart). Figure C shows an abdominal aortic aneurysm located below the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys.

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."
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is located in the chest, and an abdominal aortic aneurysm is located in the abdomen. Not pictured here are aneurysms which span both cavities and are referred to as thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Abdominal. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) refers to aneurysmal dilation of the aorta confined to the abdominal ...
Prior to the advent of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), OAS was the only surgical treatment available for aortic aneurysms. The shift away from open aortic surgery towards endovascular surgery since 2003 has been driven by worse perioperative mortality associated with OAS, particularly in patients in relatively frail health.

Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.
Treatment is determined based on the primary cause of anterior spinal cord syndrome. When the diagnosis of anterior spinal cord syndrome is determined, the prognosis is unfortunate. The mortality rate is approximately 20%, with 50% of individuals living with anterior spinal cord syndrome having very little or no changes in symptoms. [1]
