As a treatable condition, aneurysms can in most cases be cured. Treatment methods for aneurysms mainly include medication, interventional therapy, and surgical treatment.
Medication is primarily suitable for small aneurysms that have minimal impact on the body, aiming to control blood pressure and heart rate, as well as improve lipid metabolism to achieve therapeutic goals.
Interventional therapy is mainly used for intracranial, splenic, renal, and hepatic artery aneurysms, employing techniques such as coil embolization to prevent aneurysm hemorrhage and rupture.
Surgical treatment is more direct, including procedures such as aneurysm resection and artificial vascular replacement, which can directly remove the lesion and restore normal arterial function.
When treating aneurysms, it is essential to choose an appropriate treatment method and actively cooperate with medical professionals in treatment and monitoring to improve cure rates and reduce the occurrence of complications.
