Significance of an aortic aneurysm versus a digital artery aneurysm?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
An aortic aneurysm represents an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta. If it ruptures it causes severe pain; massive internal hemmorage and, without prompt treatment, results in a quick death.
A digital artery aneurysm is very rare. This is an aneurysm of one of your fingers. It can be treated with surgery and is not fatal.

Is there treatment for aneurysm aorta?
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.
