They do the same with that as they do with any other aneurysm. Today they run a tube up through a leg artery with a piece of rolled up screen like material on it. They twist it around until they find the aneurysm. Then they unroll the piece of screen like material inside the artery. It provides a patch. If the aneurysm has burst, they may need to go inside the body and do emergency surgery. In that case they may put a patch on the outsides of the artery like a hose. It depends on the type of situation.
