What Is an Aneurysm?
10. Treatment
Treating aneurysms when they are detected is often necessary lest they rupture. How this is done will depend largely on the nature of the aneurysm and where it is located. In some cases, medication will be provided to help reduce the patient’s blood pressure to help prevent an aneurysm from rupturing.
In other cases, treatment will involve an endovascular stent graft, which helps to repair and strengthen weakened blood vessels. This method is often preferred to others because it is minimally invasive and is less likely to cause complications. If the aneurysm does rupture, the damage will need to be repaired immediately or it could be fatal.
