On this edition of Access Health, Ereka Vetrini is getting a closer look at abdominal aortic aneurysms, a condition known as the "silent killer."
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are an extremely dangerous condition in which surgery is likely the next and only step for patients. Unfortunately, only 34% of women are eligible for endovascular aneurysm repair as compared to 54% of men due to anatomical differences.
Historically, women have not done well in surgery as there were no surgical options for smaller anatomies. However, the introduction of the Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System has increased the eligibility of women by 28%.
Stay tuned as Ereka speaks with doctors and experts about the Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System. Plus, learn more about the symptoms, risk factors, and life-saving treatment innovations helping to increase patients' survival rates.
