There is a procedure for placing a stent in the area of the aneurysm and it is done through an artery. It is especially recommended for older folks in fragile health as it has an easier and faster recovery. Ask your surgeon if you qualify for the TEVAR aneurysm repair. You may be in such good health that it isn't recommended for you.
I wish you good luck. It is hard to make health decisions in the sunsets of our lives.
