There may be other factors that go into the decision such as location and other mitigating circumstances.
It depends on where the aneurysm is whether or not they can do it via TAVR etc. For example, the aortic root has to be open heart surgery at this point as does the ascending aorta close to it. There may be other mitigating circumstances as well.
