A patent lumen in an aneurysm refers to the space within the aneurysm that remains open and unobstructed, allowing for blood flow. This can be significant in assessing the aneurysm's risk of rupture or complications, as a patent lumen indicates that blood can still circulate through the affected vessel. In some cases, medical imaging may be used to evaluate the condition of the lumen and determine the appropriate treatment approach. Maintaining a patent lumen can be crucial for the overall health of the vascular system.
do you mean aneurysmectomy? it's a surgical precedure to remove an aneurysm. an aneurysm is a circumscribed dilation of an artery or a cardiac chamber, in direct communication with the lumen, usually resulting from the acquired or congential weakness or the wall of the artery or the chamber.
It sounds normal to me. My posterior communicating artery is patent, and so I'm getting good blood flow to my brain. If someone were closing an aneurysm in my brain, I would like to think the arteries were patent (open) when the procedure was done.
An aneurysm 10mm or under is considered a small aneurysm
