Is there treatment for aneurysm aorta?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Aortic Aneurysms can be very serious. I would suggested you continue to see your doctor, regardless on whether you find a homoeopathic treatment. This is a physical deformity of the artery, and I can't imagine any home remedies to fix it. Don't get me wrong, I am the first one to refuse medication. But you wouldn't treat a broken arm (a physical deformity) at home.

Atrial septal aneurysm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The top two chambers of the heart are called the atria. Between these two chambers is a wall called the septum. When a baby is born this is the last part of the heart to form and can have a small hole in it for a while. You may have heard, "the baby has a hole in its heart." This usually heals up over time.
In the case of atrial septum aneurysm the blood flow out of the heart is a little weaker but can be dealt with. The part for concern is if there begins to be pooling in the atrium. Any blood throughout the body that slows down will become thicker and possible have clots.
The thing you do for this is take a blood thinner. Some doctors have their patients take low-dose aspirin others, especially if you've had a stroke before, take coumadin.
With proper supervision of a doctor I've heard that it doesn't shorten life if you keep up with the thinner blood.

What are the symptoms that a cerebral aneurysm has ruptured?

User Avatar

Asked by GaleEncyofSurgery

Most Brain aneurysms are usually without symptoms. The condition is diagnosed during tests. An unruptured brain aneurysm will cause general symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, neck pain and changes in speak simply due to the aneurysm pressing against certain parts of the brain. A ruptured aneurysm however, will cause very sudden symptoms like loss of consciousness, intense headache, etc. In this case, the patient should seek emergency medical assistance.

What is the Life expectancy after an adominal aortic aneurysm repair?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hi there,

I cannot answer the above question but I can provide hope for people and families who may have had a loved one suffer from this.

My father collapsed without warning nearly one year ago and was rushed to Hospital. After an xray it was discovered he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm and had to be operated on immediately if there was any chance of him surviving. We were of course shell shocked. Dad had been up and about and up a ladder only that morning. He was, however, 67 and had smoked most of his life. He was rushed into surgery lasting three hours. The prospects did not look good and we were told to expect the worst.

However, the surgery was sucessful but dad was in Intensive care for nearly 4 weeks with no sign of movement. One Saturday afternoon we visited him and just like that he gained consciousness. It took another few weeks for him to be discharged and about another 8 months for him to get back to normal. By that I mean coming to terms with the emotional aspects of what had happened and waterworks which seemed to be a bit of a problem for a while!. There was no long term speech damage or brain damage.

What Im trying to say is that don,t ever give up hope if you have a loved on in this situation. Some people do make it through.
