Treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm depends upon the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm is less than 4 cm (1.5 in) wide, surgery is not necessary, but your doctor will monitor it carefully for an increase in size. Aneurysms between 4 and 5 cm (1.5 – 2 in) wide may be treated with surgery if you and your doctor determine that is the best course of treatment.
