Aneurysm Repairs

An aneurysm happens when a weak spot in the wall of an artery bulges outward. This can be dangerous because the artery may rupture, causing serious or life-threatening bleeding. Aneurysms can form in many parts of the body, including the aorta, chest arteries, and arteries that supply the abdominal organs.

At University Spine Center, Dr. Massimo M. Napolitano treats aneurysms with procedures that reinforce or replace the weakened part of the artery. These treatments help restore strength to the artery, improve blood flow, and lower the risk of rupture.

Treatment may include minimally invasive endovascular repair, where a small stent or graft is placed inside the artery, or open surgery, where the damaged section is replaced with a graft. Dr. Napolitano carefully chooses the best approach for each patient based on the aneurysm’s size, location, and overall health.

Repairing an aneurysm can protect vital organs, prevent serious complications, and improve long-term vascular health. With the care of Dr. Napolitano and our team, patients can recover safely and regain confidence in their daily activities.
