Treatment for your aortic aneurysm will depend on its size, location, and the factors that put you at risk. Small aortic aneurysms can be managed with healthy lifestyle changes. The goal is to slow the growth of the aneurysm and lower the chance of rupture or
dissection
. Your healthcare provider can treat other medical conditions that increase your risk of fracture or dissection, such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and high blood cholesterol. Surgery may be recommended to repair large aneurysms.
