I guess stents are not doing the job or are theses different blockages? Logically I can only think that the cumulative recovery of all your surgeries will be long and difficult even though your eight out from the last, it takes a long time for the body and mind to heal . Don’t know your age but older will add time to any recovery Short story ..
I fractured C1 and Moved C2 falling down a flight of stairs ,had spinal fusion 0 thru C 4 also broke both wrist. That was July last summer surgery was Oct ,10 weeks out . I’m 73 and still don’t feel 100 % The surgery went great …no pain lack of motion in my neck but overall a good outcome considering most with similar injuries either don’t live or are crippled. I wish you well

They have tried stents but ascending aortic aneurysm are located in a very difficult to reach area and have several very important arteries arising from that area which is the reason they need to visualize what they are doing and maybe replace some of them (coronaries). That is the reason for the need of open heart surgery.
