Generally, surgery is recommended when the abdominal aortic aneurysm exceeds 4 CM.
The diameter of abdominal aorta in healthy people is about 1.8CM~2.0CM, when the diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysm is more than 4CM, the aneurysm may rupture at any time, and may also affect the surrounding tissues and functions, and even jeopardize the patient’s life safety.
Therefore, when the abdominal aortic aneurysm exceeds 4CM, it is recommended to undergo surgery, and the common surgical methods include open artificial blood vessel replacement and interventional therapy.
If the abdominal aortic aneurysm is less than 4CM, and the patient does not have obvious discomfort and there is no sign of rupture of the aneurysm, then the patient can undergo regular checkups and close observation of the aneurysm.
It is recommended that patients diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm should consult a doctor in time for examination and carry out appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
