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
Lumen
Double-lumen PICC lines come in two colors. Red is the blood access lumen or arterial lumen and blue is the blood return lumen or venous lumen. Despite the names, neither lumen is leads to an artery, but both lead into a vein.
