What are the treatment guidelines for abdominal aortic aneurysm? How to care for it?

The main treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm is surgery. Since DuBost successfully performed abdominal aortic aneurysm resection and artificial blood vessel transplantation for the first time in 1951, this procedure has been widely accepted worldwide after continuous improvements. Although the surgical mortality rate of abdominal aortic aneurysm has dropped to a very low level since the 1970s, this does not mean that all patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm need immediate surgery. Surgery is the right choice only when the risk of aneurysm rupture is greater than the risk of surgery.
