Has anyone ever shrunk an Aneurysm?

Thanks. I wasn’t given much to go on, just the standard, don’t lift more than 30 pounds, keep my blood pressure under 130 (My diastolic is around 50 since the surgery) and take my pills (beta blocker, lypator). I do have a cardiologist now so I may ask him but I feel like if there isn’t a pill to prescribe then they won’t tell me it can be done.
I’ve incorporated a whole list of new daily routines (green tea, vitamins - saw a study on Vitamin C on rats 🤣, meditation, etc.) in hopes I can shrink the other 2. I didn’t have the EVAR surgery but the more evasive one. Taking it a day at a time, enjoying every second of it.

Just a quick update. My second annurysm that was an ascending and 6.0+ was repaired in October along with a Mechanical Valve. Unfortunately 3 weeks later, my wife made me go back to the ER. I had a second open heart surgery in which they found clots in my valve, lots of scar tissue from the AAA complication in February and infection everywhere. I had to get a pacemaker after the clean up and repair. It’s been a crazy year but I’m still here. Living it up while I can. 🤪
Your stitches look awful. It looks so invasive and horrible to recover from. I am so sorry . Was this open heart surgery or abdominal. I hope your recovery is going well!!
It is a miracle that they can open you up like that operate and put you back together and you are up for another surgery. God bless you and prayers that when all is done you live a long happy life

Is that from the open heart surgery ? I pray you’re healing
