37!centers are now doing EVAR surgeries for AAA as part of an investigational clinical trial. You may qualify. There are many exclusions - eg you must have emough “landing area” on either side of the aneurysm. (That excluded my husband.)
Almost everybmajor academic center is part of this trial.

I had high hopes of being accepted into this Trial at the major medical center where my ascending aortic aneurysm is monitored by a Cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in diseases of the Aorta. I too did not have a sufficient landing zone which is a requirment to participate in the trial. To say I was disappointed is ann understatement. Open heart surgery is my only option at this time at 5.5cm.
