Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery
Aneurysm evaluation
Assessment of a bulge in a blood vessel wall, which carries a risk of rupture if it grows large enough.
Common symptoms
- Often found incidentally on imaging
- Pain near the aneurysm site in some cases
- Family history of aneurysms
What it involves
Imaging to measure the aneurysm's size and monitor its growth, with treatment recommended based on size and risk.
What to expect
Small aneurysms are often just monitored regularly; larger ones may need a procedure to prevent rupture.
