Open Repair: Traditional Surgical Approach for Aneurysms

At Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department, we offer advanced treatments for aneurysms, including Open Repair, a traditional surgical approach that effectively addresses aneurysmal conditions. While minimally invasive techniques such as Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) are often preferred, Open Repair may be recommended for certain complex or large aneurysms.

Open Repair involves a surgical procedure in which the affected artery is accessed through a larger incision. The weakened section of the artery is removed, and a synthetic graft is sewn in place to replace the diseased segment. This graft acts as a conduit, providing a durable and stable pathway for blood flow, thereby preventing the risk of rupture.

The key aspects of Open Repair include:

Comprehensive Treatment: Open Repair allows direct visualisation and repair of the aneurysm. It is suitable for aneurysms that are complex, large, or challenging to access and require more extensive surgical intervention.
Durability and Longevity: The synthetic graft used in Open Repair is durable and designed to provide long-term support to the weakened artery. This procedure offers excellent outcomes in terms of aneurysm exclusion and prevention of complications.
Customised Approach: Our experienced vascular surgeons carefully evaluate each patient's condition and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Factors such as aneurysm size, location, and patient-specific considerations are considered to ensure the best possible outcome.

If you have been diagnosed with an aneurysm, your vascular specialist will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach. We provide comprehensive care and tailored treatment plans to address your aneurysm concerns and improve your overall health.
