Aneurysm repair

Doctors at Sharp offer a newer approach, called an endovascular repair, in which a graft is inserted and fastened to the weakened artery through a small incision in the upper thigh. With this method, you will experience a quicker recovery and less scarring.

At Sharp, we make every effort to ensure that you have a quick and comfortable recovery. Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Sharp Grossmont Hospital and Sharp Memorial Hospital offer an innovative procedure called fenestrated stent graft surgery to repair abdominal aortic aneurysms. This less invasive approach allows you to return to your life as soon as possible — recovery time is typically one week, compared to three or more months after undergoing open surgery.

Our experienced surgeons are skilled in both cutting-edge and conventional treatments. They have performed countless open-surgery procedures, in which the chest or abdominal cavity is opened and the damaged section of the blood vessel is replaced with a graft.
