This method involves navigating a catheter from the groin area through the artery leading to the aneurysm. Once positioned, embolic coils or liquids are introduced through the catheter to induce embolization, effectively preventing blood flow into the aneurysm. The advancements in the products designed...
The inner thigh and groin area are shaved and cleanse. A local numbing agent is given to minimize discomfort as the skin incision is made. The femoral artery is located and a hollow needle is inserted into the artery (Fig. 2). Next, a long tube made of flexible plastic called a cathete...
The doctor expands the graft inside of the aneurysm. Then the doctor attaches the graft to the blood vessel. When the graft is in place, the doctor will take out the catheters and the wires. He or she will use stitches to close the incisions in the groin area. After...

An AAA is a bulging or weak area in your abdominal aorta. Over time, the bulge may grow and is at risk for tearing or rupturing (bursting). The aorta is a large blood vessel that extends from your heart to your abdomen. The part of the aorta that extends into your abdomen is called...
Rupture of the myocardium: This complication occurs during the first week postocclusion of coronary artery. During that time, the necrotic myocardium is very soft (because of the action ofneutrophilsinfiltrating the area). ▪ Rupture of the free wall of theleft ventricle: The hole in t...
<div p-id="p-0001">A system and method for occluding an aneurysm formed in a dilatation area of a body vessel are disclosed. The system comprises a wire guide, a core wire, and an occlusion device. Th
The endoprosthesis is delivered to the aneurysm in the aorta by way of a delivery catheter. The delivery catheter containing the endoprosthesis is inserted through a small incision in the groin where it is threaded through the femoral artery and advanced to the location of the aneurysm. The surge...
