      Woah that’s crazy i’m glad you’re alive.. what did it feel like and what happened when it burst? and how long did it last before you went to the hospital? I don’t want to be right but i think that when i ruptured my spleen it was so severe that they couldn’t further diagnosis any of my other internal injuries (aortic injury.. or more) in the time i was rushed into surgery and that was the core issue of everyone’s attention but as a miracle my red blood cell count stabilized and they didn’t do any more scans afterwards to observe my organs. i have strange symptoms and plan to get it looked at obviously but i’m so scared to swallow that if it’s what’s going on, i just don’t feel ready or strong enough. hope you’re doing well though lol :)

    Had mine repaired 4 years ago when it got to just under 6. Got lucky when it showed up on a ct scan for kidney stones. I was in having it repaired within weeks of them finding it. I was only in my 50's. Everything went great. Spent 5 days in ICU and went home on the 6th day. It took about 12 weeks to fully recover.

    • @PCampbell361
      @PCampbell361 Рік тому +2

      Hi Brittany. At that size the aneurysm is considered to be "low risk" in the short term. Elective surgery for this can be tough going, so you'd rather save that until it's necessary rather than early when there's no imminent danger
      Someone could have an aneurysm of, for example, 3.4cm, and 10 years later it will only have grown to 4cm. How quickly they grow is really luck of the draw

    I had one done 5 / 2017 and I have a 16 inch scar to prove it ! -- Still here @ 74 yesterday. -- Was 67.5 when done. - - - Appears now to have come back revealed 6 months ago @ 5.6 requiring a closer look to assess another potential repair. Contrast for detail should allow for a good look and hopefully lead to a repair from the inside. I have heard it said that it can be repaired inside the artery 90+ % of the time. -- That's the good news - but - the bad news comes from the contrast putting my kidneys at further risk from the 50% function left from the previous surgery ! -?- An apparent necessary evil ?!?

    I'm a nurse and I hada patient pass away this past week.he was dealing with leg ischemia. The vascular dr signed off and said it was his leg causing the ischemia. On day shift after I went home he died suddenly. Is this the vascular dr fault? Should they have known to investigate above the leg? I looked in my nursing notes book and said leg ischemia is a sign of a triple a but that was not mentioned in your video.

    I wonder if this only affects smokers or if ppl on cholesterol lowering drugs might have a higher probability of this condition? Are patients deficient in vitamin k or given supplements like k2 or coenzyme q10 to repair the integrity of the artery? What is the typical treatment for this condition aside from smoking secession?

    This video states ALL UK men are routinely screened for AAA after age 65
    Wish we lived in the UK … our Medicare won’t even screen for it unless something else is going on and it’s found accidentally

    • @101wildgoose
      @101wildgoose Рік тому +1

      The reason mortality is so high is that when it ruptures you bleed out internally very rapidly. So there is a chance someone can be saved but more often than not they just aren't getting into hospital/surgery in time.
