About the Procedure

What is Aortic Aneurysm Repair?

Aortic Aneurysm Repair is a surgical procedure to treat an abnormal bulge or weakening in the wall of the aorta, the body's main artery, which carries a risk of rupture if left untreated. The procedure can be performed through open surgery or a minimally invasive endovascular technique, depending on the aneurysm's size, location, and the patient's overall health. Timely repair significantly reduces the risk of life-threatening rupture and improves long-term survival.

Who may be considered?

Aortic Aneurysm Repair may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

A stent-graft is inserted through small incisions in the groin and guided via catheter to reinforce the weakened section of the aorta from inside, avoiding a large surgical incision.

2 approaches available for this procedure:

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

Minimally Invasive

A stent-graft is inserted through small incisions in the groin and guided via catheter to reinforce the weakened section of the aorta from inside, avoiding a large surgical incision.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $500 - $1,500

CT angiography, ECG, echocardiogram, CBC, kidney function tests, coagulation profile, blood group and cross-matching

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $9,000 - $15,000

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3-4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~2-3 weeks recommended
Total stay: approx 3 weeks

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Pre-operative consultation and workup
  • Stent-graft device and implantation costs
  • Surgeon, anesthesiologist and ICU fees
  • Hospital stay in standard room
  • Post-procedure follow-up consultation before discharge

Usually Not Included

  • International and local travel
  • Hotel accommodation for patient/attendant
  • Visa and travel insurance
  • Long-term surveillance imaging after return home
  • Treatment of unrelated pre-existing conditions

Recovery and follow-up

Recovery time depends on the technique used; EVAR patients typically resume light activity within 1-2 weeks, while open repair requires several weeks of restricted activity with regular follow-up imaging to monitor the graft and aortic healing.

Risks

Potential risks include bleeding, infection, graft-related complications, endoleak (in EVAR), kidney injury, and in rare cases stroke or aortic rupture during the perioperative period.

Alternatives

For small, stable aneurysms, close monitoring with regular imaging and blood pressure control may be recommended instead of immediate surgery; the choice between EVAR and open repair depends on aneurysm anatomy and patient suitability.

What we need to prepare a formal estimate

Common questions

FAQs about Aortic Aneurysm Repair in Hyderabad, India

What is Aortic Aneurysm?
An aortic aneurysm is a localised, permanent dilation of the aorta to at least 1.5 times its normal diameter, most commonly occurring in the abdominal section (abdominal aortic aneurysm, or AAA) or the chest (thoracic aortic aneurysm, or TAA). The condition develops when the structural integrity of the aortic wall is compromised, causing it to balloon outward under the pressure of circulating blood.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Aortic Aneurysm?
Many aortic aneurysms — particularly abdominal ones — produce no symptoms at all and are discovered incidentally during imaging performed for another reason; when symptoms do occur, they may include a pulsating sensation in the abdomen, deep or persistent back or flank pain, or, in thoracic aneurysms, chest pain, hoarseness, or difficulty swallowing. A sudden, severe tearing pain in the chest, back, or abdomen can signal dissection or rupture and represents a medical emergency requiring immediate attention. The presence or absence of symptoms alone is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis or gauge severity — only a qualified clinician reviewing your full clinical picture can do that.
How is Aortic Aneurysm diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a physical examination and a review of cardiovascular risk factors, followed by imaging to confirm the presence, location, and size of the aneurysm. Ultrasound is commonly used for initial screening and monitoring of abdominal aneurysms, while computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) provides more detailed anatomical information essential for surgical planning. Aneurysm diameter is the primary clinical marker used to stratify risk and guide management decisions — for example, abdominal aortic aneurysms are generally considered at higher rupture risk once they reach or exceed 5.5 cm in men or 5.0 cm in women, though individual factors always influence the threshold for intervention.
How is Aortic Aneurysm treated?
Treatment decisions depend on the aneurysm's size, location, rate of growth, and the patient's overall health and surgical fitness. Smaller aneurysms that do not meet intervention thresholds are typically managed conservatively with surveillance imaging, blood pressure optimisation, and cardiovascular risk reduction. When an aneurysm reaches a size or growth rate that warrants repair, the two main procedural options are open surgical repair and minimally invasive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR or TEVAR for thoracic cases), with the choice between them depending on the patient's anatomy, comorbidities, and the treating team's assessment.
Can Aortic Aneurysm be treated without a procedure?
For aneurysms below the threshold for intervention, a structured programme of active surveillance — typically with ultrasound or CTA at regular intervals — combined with aggressive management of modifiable risk factors forms the cornerstone of non-surgical care. This includes smoking cessation, blood pressure control (often with antihypertensive medication), lipid management, and avoidance of strenuous activities that significantly raise blood pressure. It is important to understand that non-surgical management does not repair or reverse an existing aneurysm; its goal is to slow progression and reduce rupture risk until and unless procedural repair becomes necessary.
When is Aortic Aneurysm Repair considered for Aortic Aneurysm?
Aortic Aneurysm Repair may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Aortic Aneurysm?
Aortic aneurysms are evaluated and managed by vascular surgeons or cardiothoracic surgeons, often working within a multidisciplinary team that may include interventional radiologists, cardiologists, and anaesthetists specialising in cardiovascular care. For thoracic aortic aneurysms in particular, a cardiothoracic surgeon with specific aortic surgery experience is typically the lead specialist.
How do I choose a doctor for Aortic Aneurysm?
When selecting a surgeon or centre for aortic aneurysm care, it is worth comparing the volume of aortic procedures performed annually, the availability of both open surgical and endovascular techniques, access to a multidisciplinary aortic team, and the quality of long-term imaging surveillance and follow-up protocols. Accreditation of the hospital's cardiac and vascular surgical programme and the team's experience with cases of similar complexity to yours are also meaningful indicators of quality.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
