Which department should I go to for aneurysm?

Because of atherosclerosis, damage or other reasons, it is very likely to cause aneurysms and affect health. Usually, if you think you have an aneurysm, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up. So, what department should you go to for aneurysms?

An aneurysm is an increase in the volume of a normal artery, with a local spherical expansion. The size of a normal artery is about 2 cm. When its volume expands and the local area becomes fusiform, it looks like a tumor and is called an aneurysm, but it is not a tumor. Generally, if an aneurysm occurs, you need to go to the vascular surgery department. The specific details may vary depending on the patient's location. You can go to the hospital for consultation.

Unruptured aneurysms with a low chance of rupture can be followed up and observed dynamically. If symptoms occur, especially aneurysms with compression symptoms or ruptured aneurysms, treatment is required. Treatment methods include: surgical treatment to clip the aneurysm; minimally invasive treatment, inserting a catheter into a channel from the thigh, following the path in the blood vessel, and sending the microcatheter to the brain and the diseased aneurysm for interventional treatment of the aneurysm.

Specific treatment methods include surgery, intervention and hybrid therapy. Surgical treatment is to use surgical techniques to implant artificial blood vessels to replace diseased arterial vessels. Interventional treatment is to use intravascular intervention technology to implant artificial blood vessels with coated stents. Currently, it is mainly used to treat descending aortic aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms.

Pay attention to rest, avoid mental stress and overwork. Give light and easily digestible food to keep bowel movements smooth. Assist those with limb dysfunction in daily care and strengthen limb function exercises. Give high-calorie, high-protein, vitamin-rich, light and easily digestible food, avoid spicy and irritating food. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and keep bowel movements smooth.

If an aneurysm occurs, you will need to go to the vascular surgery department. However, because the location of the aneurysm varies from patient to patient, you can consult the hospital for the specific department to go to.
