Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Disease management and monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR)
Minimally invasive endovascular stent-graft placement to reinforce the weakened aortic wall, appropriate for suitable anatomical configurations.
Intensive blood pressure control
Combination antihypertensive therapy targeting systolic blood pressure below 130 mmHg to minimize aortic wall stress and slow aneurysm progression.
Additional treatment options
Genetic testing and family screening
Comprehensive genetic evaluation to identify disease-causing mutations and initiate appropriate screening for at-risk family members.
monitoringSmoking cessation program
Structured smoking cessation intervention as smoking significantly accelerates aneurysm growth and increases rupture risk.
lifestyleCardiac rehabilitation program
Supervised exercise program with continuous monitoring designed to maintain cardiovascular fitness while avoiding excessive strain on the aorta.
