The patient's life expectancy mainly depends on individual circumstances. If it is an aneurysm, delayed treatment may lead to sudden death. Some patients are unaware of their condition and engage in strenuous exercise, which could cause the aneurysm to rupture at any time, posing an immediate life-threatening risk. It is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment, take medication regularly, and avoid competitive sports.
