I am assuming that the aneurysm is in the ascending aorta and that is why an open procedure was mentioned. While the use of stents in the ascending aorta has not generally been approved by the FDA, I thought there were some instances in older patients where it has been approved on an emergency basis where there is concern about surviving an open procedure. It's something you might consider discussing your doctor.
