Are there new breakthroughs for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm surgeries?

Hi: Your message was so encouraging. I have had my Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm now going on 5 years, and I go next week to have it checked for size. So far it has not gotten to a 4, but I will know if it has grown next week. Did you say that you went home the same day? I am under the impression that its a bit of a hospital stay after the surgery.
I have so many health issues, and I do not want to worry about this AAA right now.
Praying that you continue to do well. I am so glad that they are coming up with better treatments for this condition than the choices we had years ago.
God Bless You!!

I’m so glad I came upon your post. My husband who turns 70 this week was diagnosed with a genetic mutation called Loeys-Dietz Syndrome about 3 years ago. This condition causes aneurysms. He is scheduled to have an EVAR AAA repair on 10/8/25. It measures 5.2 cm and the vascular surgeon at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee stated that the old guideline of waiting until 5.5 cm has been lowered to 5.0 cm. We are terrified to be honest especially me. Your experience is encouraging. I hope my husband’s surgery goes as well as yours. Hope you’re still doing well.

Thank you kindly for your prayers and blessing.
It was a minor hospital stay, a couple of days if recall. It was an easy recovery. I had lifting restrictions for 30 days.
Hope you’re doing well. I felt very blessed to have found it and able to monitor it.
