Hello @bachy, I moved your discussion and combined it with a discussion titled, "Are there new breakthroughs for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm surgeries" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/are-there-new-breakthroughs-for-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-surgeries/ to meet @suzie71 who was also wondering and had some anxiety about Abdominal aortic aneurysm surgeries. I'd like to invite @luckybear and @heather1976 to this conversation as well.

@bachy - Has your vascular surgeon talked about how invasive the surgery will be or what the recovery is like?

Hello Justin! My surgeon told me that they will go up through my groan, both sides and place a fabric covered stint at the saccular aneurysm to cut off the blood supply to the aneurysm. The part that has me really stressed out is that the colon gets blood from the arota and sometimes (1%) persons need to have some of their colon removed. I do no understand any of that and he explained it twice. Here again, I have a saccular aneurysm and it is from what I was told, more likely to repture than others. Mine is 1 3/8 " in length. Prayers for everyone. Best Regards, John
