Aortic Aneurysm: Symptoms and Treatment | Dr. Bagirath Raghuraman

hello everybody I am Dr bagat raguraman working as senior consultant cardiologist and program director of heart transplant at Nar Health City Bengaluru iotic aneurism is a condition wherein the Iota which is the main conduit of blood flow to the entire circulation is enlarged to such an extent that there is a chance of the Iota rupturing if an iotic aneurysm ruptures the chance of survival of the patient is very minimal and this is because the entire circulation is emptied out of the circulation now if this happens in the hospital at times the patient can be salvaged by putting him on life support systems however in some unfortunate patients it can happen out of Hospital wherein the chance of the patient surviving is down to minimal now to tackle this there are again two forms of treatment hither to the commonest way in which which it was treated is by surgery wherein the surgeon excises out or cuts off the aneurysmal portion and replaces that portion with a graft if the condition or the anatomy of the patient is suitable this can now be done even by a catheter by placing what we call as a stent graft so it is mounted on a catheter the approaches through the groins and then the stcraft is deployed in such a way that the aneurismal segment is excluded from the circulation and this ensures that there is a flow through the normal Channel and the chance of the iotic aneurysm rupturing is totally minimized so this is very very helpful for those patients wherein it offers an alternative to surgery and in some patients wherein they are very critically ill or not suitable for surgery this again becomes another way in which you can treat an iotic aneurysm [Music]
