Treatment for Abdominal aortic aneurysm
Hello doctors,
My 79 yo father has recently been diagnosed with Abdominal aortic aneurysm. The diameter of the aorta is 5.9*5.8 cm. His cholesterol level is in range.
The doctor has suggested minimal invasive surgery to insert a stent to rectify the situation.
Are there any alternative ways of treatment like Ayurveda or Homeopathy available to treat this situation, considering the age of my father and the size of the aorta. Will it be risky if we go with Ayurveda or Allopathy as these medications take time to cure.
Also if we go for the surgery, what chances are there to not get it back and complete healing.
Thankyou.
TEVAR is the procedure for such patients in which a stent graft is placed to treat the aortic aneurysm. It is a minimally invasive procedure and the least risky of all the open heart surgeries which are available as an option to treat the same.
Ayurvedic procedures won’t be able to treat this disorder.
If the disease is not treated, there are always chances of sudden cardiac death.
