I'm here, 9.5 years later. Doing better than ever. I am far healthier now than before I suddenly dissected and had emergency open heart surgery in 2015. You're going to do great. You have a problem. You know it (I didn't). And, you and your doctors have a plan. You're going to do great. Peace.

My dad is 88 and his only hope is open chest repair as the endovascular repair for his ascending aortic aneurysm was unsuccessful. He’s at UCSF now and I came across your post. I know this is a shot in the dark but looking for some advice/inspiration as I navigate the difficult decision to push for open chest repair as his chance of survival is low but so is his current prognosis because of an endoleak.
