How to treat aortic widening

Aortic widening, if no aortic aneurysm has developed and no entrapment has occurred, usually does not require treatment, and depending on the patient’s blood pressure, if hypertension is present, it is important to aggressively stabilize the blood pressure and control it to standard. In aortic widening, if there is no aneurysm formation and no entrapment, it is usually associated with hypertension. To minimize the impact on the aorta, hypertensive patients are advised to stop smoking and drinking, eat a low-salt, low-fat diet, exercise appropriately, and control their weight. Take medication on time, such as amlodipine and temesartan, to control blood pressure up to standard. If an aneurysm occurs, huge aneurysms are at risk of rupture, sometimes requiring surgical aortic surgery. If aortic coarctation occurs, the risk of death is higher, and prompt aortic stenting or surgical aortic replacement is even more important. When a widening of the aorta is detected, it is recommended that a regular visit to the hospital be made, and the patient’s blood pressure and other conditions be combined to give guidance on treatment by a specialized doctor.
