Aortic Aneurysm — Abdominal (AAA) and Thoracic (TAA)
An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement of the aorta, the body's main artery. It is broadly grouped into abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). Management depends on size, anatomy and clinical evaluation.
What is an aortic aneurysm?
An aortic aneurysm is a localised widening of the aortic wall. Many are found incidentally and followed with imaging; the decision to treat depends on diameter, growth rate, symptoms and individual risk, as assessed by the physician.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
AAA affects the abdominal aorta. In suitable anatomy it may be treated with EVAR (an endovascular stent graft) or open surgery; smaller aneurysms are often kept under imaging surveillance.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA)
TAA affects the thoracic aorta. Depending on location and anatomy it may be managed with TEVAR, open surgery or surveillance — selection rests with the treating physician.
How Korvia supports aneurysm cases
Korvia supports aneurysm treatment with EVAR- and TEVAR-capable aortic stent-graft platforms — including Percutek Tycheseal — alongside case planning, device sizing, procedural readiness and on-site clinical support in Türkiye.
Frequently asked questions
How is an abdominal aortic aneurysm treated?+
Depending on size, anatomy and patient status, management may include surveillance, open surgery or endovascular methods such as EVAR. The decision rests with the physician.
How is a thoracic aortic aneurysm treated?+
In suitable cases, endovascular methods such as TEVAR or open surgery may be considered; selection depends on anatomical and clinical evaluation.
What is EVAR?+
EVAR is the minimally invasive repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm using a stent graft delivered through the vessels. Suitability depends on anatomical evaluation and physician judgement.
What is TEVAR?+
TEVAR treats thoracic aortic disease, such as aneurysm and dissection, with an endovascular stent graft. The indication is determined by clinical evaluation.
