Results for tag: "Aortic Aneurysm"

An aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, weakens and balloons outward. It is a serious condition that can lead to life-threatening complications if left untreated. In cardiology, aortic aneurysms are typically treated with either open surgery or endovascular repair. Open surgery involves making an incision in the chest or abdomen to access the aorta and repair the aneurysm. Endovascular repair is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a stent graft into the aorta to repair the aneurysm. The aortic aneurysm market is a rapidly growing segment of the cardiology market. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, technological advancements in endovascular repair, and the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Some companies in the aortic aneurysm market include Medtronic, Cook Medical, Terumo Corporation, Endologix, Inc., and Lombard Medical, Inc. Show Less Read more
