The buildup of fats and cholesterol that hardens and weakens artery walls.
Known as Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms , these occur in the section of the aorta passing through the chest cavity.
This involves placing a clip at the base of a brain aneurysm (clipping) or replacing a section of the aorta with a synthetic graft.
Aneurysms can form in any artery, but they are most frequently found in these areas:
These can develop in other vessels, such as those behind the knee (popliteal), in the groin, or in the neck. Risk Factors and Prevention
Considered the most significant behavioral risk factor for aortic aneurysms.
The leading cause of both the formation and rupture of aneurysms.
Minimally invasive options where a stent graft or platinum coils are inserted via a catheter to reinforce the vessel or block blood flow into the bulge.
