An abdominal aortic aneurysm often goes undetected and untreated until it leaks or ruptures. At that point, a person experiences extreme pain and it becomes a life-threatening situation.

Interventional radiologists at ProHealth Care offer minimally-invasive endovascular repair. During the procedure, a catheter is used to guide a stent through an artery and release it, sealing off the aneurysm.

Any symptoms resolve once the procedure is complete, and most patients go home from the hospital the following day.

Vascular screening can detect abdominal aortic aneurysms, enabling patients and their physicians to proactively monitor the condition and plan for a repair when needed, averting an emergency.

Visit ProHealthCare.org/VascularScreening to learn more about a screening package available for people 55 years of age and older.
