What Are The Chances Of Survival With 8cm Abdominal Aneurysm?
Question: what are the chance of survival with size8 none ruptured abdominal anurisum in a 69 year old male
Brief Answer:
I strongly recommend to follow the interventional repair of aneurysm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern, and would like to explain that your brother's doctor has adviced the right way to follow, as an abdominal aneurysm greater than 5.5 cm in diameter (or with a growth rate of more than 0.6 to 0.8 cm per year) is a clear indication for aortic repair (open surgery or endovascular repair by means of cloth graft with a stent exoskeleton implantation).
I strongly suggest to undergo this way, as mortality after aneurysm rupture (the most dangerous and fearful aneurysm complication), is very high, greater than 90% out of hospital.
Hope to have been helpful to you.
Feel free to ask me whenever you need. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
