I would also be interested in any replies to the question.
My situation may not be quite the same, but still interested in any response.
I’m scheduled for a triple bypass surgery on June 6.
Due to new blockages discovered a year later after stents were put in.
I have a small aneurysm on the dissected, lower abdominal aorta, and also critical stenosis of the iliac artery..
I was told that surgery will be required in the future.

New to this site and trying to learn as much as possible
I’m also blind

I have since had an invasive angiogram, and I have been recommended for quadruple bypass surgery by the preventative cardiologist and interventional cardiologist. I meet with the surgeon next week. During the bypass surgery, the surgeon would also repair the aortic dilations. I am getting a second opinion, but from what I've read, this is the normal protocol. Since your dilation is abdominal, a different protocol may be required. Good luck.
