What is vascular graft for an aneurysm in the abdomen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repair: Abdominal aortic aneurysms are repaired using endovascular or open surgical techniques. The repair is done, using prosthetic grafts, which are made with dacron or ptfe, a type of plastic. These have the advantage of being readily available, and come in multiple sizes.
