Aortic Disease Treatment in India
Aortic disease treatment depends on the location and size of the aneurysm or dissection, growth rate, symptoms, anatomy, genetic conditions and overall surgical risk. Management may include surveillance, blood-pressure control, open surgery or endovascular repair.
- Personalised treatment planning
- Advanced treatment options
- International patient support
About Aortic Disease / Aortic Aneurysm
The aorta is the body’s main artery. An aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of part of the aorta, while a dissection is a tear within the aortic wall. Many aneurysms are found before symptoms develop, but rupture or acute dissection can be life-threatening emergencies.
Important factors in treatment planning
- Aortic diameter and growth
- Anatomy and genetics
Common signs and symptoms
- Often silent — Many aortic aneurysms are discovered before symptoms appear.
- Acute severe pain — Sudden severe chest, back or abdominal pain can signal an aortic emergency.
How Is Aortic Disease / Aortic Aneurysm Diagnosed?
Imaging may include echocardiography, CT angiography or MRI depending on the part of the aorta involved. Measurements are followed over time to assess size and growth, and genetic evaluation may be relevant in selected patients.
- STEP 1
1. Imaging
- CT Angiography
- Cardiac / Aortic MRI
- Echocardiography
- STEP 2
2. Follow-up
- Serial Aortic Measurements
- STEP 3
3. Genetics
- Genetic Evaluation When Indicated

Aortic Disease / Aortic Aneurysm Treatment Options in India
Medical Surveillance of Aortic Disease
Blood-pressure control and serial imaging are used when immediate intervention is not required.
Learn about this treatmentOpen Aortic Surgery
Open repair replaces or reconstructs the diseased section of aorta.
Learn about this treatmentEndovascular Aortic Repair
A stent graft is placed inside the aorta to reinforce the weakened segment in suitable anatomy.

Advanced Aortic Disease / Aortic Aneurysm Treatment Options
Advanced options may include endovascular stent-graft repair and complex open aortic surgery. The best approach depends on anatomy, the segment involved and whether the condition is elective or an emergency.
- 01
EVAR / TEVAR
Endovascular aneurysm repair treats selected abdominal or thoracic aortic disease.
Learn about this treatment - 02
Complex Aortic Surgery
Specialised open procedures are used for root, arch or complex aortic disease.

Aortic Disease / Aortic Aneurysm Treatment Cost in India
The total cost of aortic disease / aortic aneurysm treatment in India depends on the diagnosis and combination of treatments required. A final estimate should be based on specialist review of medical records.
What affects treatment cost?
- Aortic segment
- aneurysm/dissection
- open vs endovascular repair
- graft/device complexity
- ICU stay
- urgency
All costs are indicative only. Final treatment cost depends on the confirmed diagnosis, treatment plan, implant/drug choice, hospital requirements and complications.
How Long Will Aortic Disease / Aortic Aneurysm Treatment Take?
Endovascular repair may allow a shorter admission and recovery than open surgery. Complex open aortic procedures generally require a longer hospital and recovery period before travel.
- 1
Endovascular Repair
EVAR or TEVAR often involves shorter hospitalisation and recovery than open surgery.
- 2
Open Aortic Surgery
Open repair generally requires a longer inpatient stay and several weeks of recovery.
Planning Your Stay
- Specialist review
- Treatment plan
- Expected hospital stay
- Recovery
- Safe travel
- Follow-up at home
Knowing the expected treatment schedule before travelling helps patients from Ethiopia, Uganda and other countries plan accommodation, travel and time away from home.
