I am 81 have AA wonder if I would survive the operation. Perhaps I would be moved to end of surgery list (triage)? I talk to friends in their 50's they have all been checked for this, I live alone apparently if this blows out I wouldn't have time to phone ...ever.

I was 50. I had 5 kids and a wife. It was a major surgery with weeks of coma. I would not do it at 81. There was so much pain and misery. I am hoping that I live to 81. I want to die quickly and I would not have surgery again knowing what I know. Most people who suffer from a complete dissection do not survive.
