If you’re referring to having an abdominal aortic aneurysm, the less invasive surgery is called EVAR. Depending on where and how big the aneurysm is determines if they can use that procedure.

Let's not confuse results of Abdominal Aneurysms with Aortic Ascending aneurysms because you are confusing those who are not medically savvy.

Thank you. Yes that is true as I understand it too. His has an abdominal aortic aneurysm from a genetic condition we recently discovered and is 5.2 cm and he has an ultrasound every 6 months. It will need to be removed at 5.5 cm.
