Most aneurysms occur in the main artery of the body - the aorta.
Particularly in the part that runs through the abdomen. Repair of aneurysms is usually recommended when they reach a size of 5.5 cms. This can be done by replacing them with a dacron tube or endoluminally with a stent graft - a relatively new minimally invasive type of therapy. All Rights Reserved. All Rights Reserved.
