Live workshop on dilation of blood vessel

Special Correspondent

COIMBATORE: The 10th annual live workshop on aortic aneurysm by G. Kuppuswamy Naidu Memorial Hospital here on November 17 and 18 will debate whether an endovascular stenting or an open surgery is the ideal way of treating this problem.

Aneurysm is an abnormal dilation of an artery. This can rupture, usually fatally, a press release from organising secretary and cardiac surgeon P. Chandrashekar said on Thursday. Surgery for aneurysms carried a high risk and was not routinely done. More cases of aneurysm were found now because of the rise in the incidence of vascular diseases. More cases were being detected because of the availability of advanced diagnostic facilities such as computed tomography scan.

Chief Cardio-thoracic Surgeon at the GKNM Hospital S. Muralidharan is the chairman of the workshop.
