Abstract:
Aneurysm of the aorta is largely a disease of the elderly. The incidence/prevalence of the disease has steadily increased in recent times, mainly because of the increase in awareness among patients/physicians and better imaging modalities. Early diagnosis and treatment of this disease holds the key to success and plays a part in prevention of catastrophic complications. With advancements in endovascular and surgical innovations, repair of aneurysmal disease has made significant progress, translating into better survival and long-term benefits. However, with significant morbidity and mortality associated with this disease, there is still a need for further research.
