How long do men live after aneurysm surgery?

The life expectancy of men after aneurysm surgery cannot be generalized. It is closely related to the success rate of the surgery, the location of the aneurysm, and postoperative care. The doctor will develop a personalized rehabilitation plan based on the patient's specific situation.

An aneurysm is an abnormal expansion of the blood vessel wall that can occur in different parts of the body, such as the cerebral arteries and abdominal aorta. If not intervened in time, rupture may cause serious consequences or even endanger life. Surgical treatment is currently a common and effective means, including open surgery and minimally invasive interventional surgery.

Life expectancy after surgery is affected by many factors, with the success of the surgery being the core. If the surgery goes smoothly and the patient has no other serious health problems, life expectancy is not significantly different from that of the general population. However, if there are high-risk factors such as uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, or smoking, the risk of recurring aneurysms or other cardiovascular events may increase, so health status must be strictly managed.

After surgery, it is recommended to start with lifestyle changes: quit smoking and limit alcohol, maintain a healthy weight, and have regular physical examinations to monitor blood pressure and blood lipids. Pay attention to taking anticoagulants or antihypertensive drugs as prescribed by your doctor, and consult a doctor in time if you have any questions, in order to improve your quality of life and prolong your life expectancy. If you experience abnormal symptoms after surgery, such as severe headaches, chest pain, etc., you should seek medical attention immediately.
