What are treatment options for aortic aneurysms?
Until a few years ago the only treatment option that was available for aortic aneurysms was a major surgery. Today interventional radiology offers a minimally invasive procedure where a tubular mesh which has cloth like covering incorporated into it is placed across the aneurysm by a small nick in the skin in the blood vessel of the leg. This form of treatment is called endovascular therapy by stent-graft.
