Already chosen your vascular or aortic surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed aortic aneurysm repair? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is aortic aneurysm repair?
An aortic aneurysm is an enlarged section of the body's main artery. Repair reinforces or replaces the affected segment to reduce the risk of rupture in selected cases. Size, growth, location and health influence whether monitoring or repair is advised.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- What size, growth or symptoms make repair appropriate now?
- Is the anatomy suitable for endovascular repair, or is open surgery preferable?
- How do the nearby branches and my kidney, heart or lung health affect risk?
- What imaging and possible future procedures would follow each option?

Records to organise
We organise the ct angiography and prior scans showing size changes alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the vascular or aortic surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
