Has anyone had TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) procedure?

The first surgery was a 911. Surgery 2 was planned. Not an emergency. I regretted not asking for an explanation and understanding what and why they chose to do what they did. I felt like it was worthy of sharing.
Its just we were not told about the plan.

@mb0926 I have an open general question . I have been searching for specialist surgeon who can repair my 5.5cm thorasic aortic aneurism.
I have encountered more that two “ sitting specialists “ in large medical facilities - the put me through all the costal scans and tests and then review the results and want to refer me to someone suitable to do the surgery. !!! They seem to do no surgeries themselves - just earn a fancy living passing people like me around for repeated CT scans, ultrasounds etc .
Is there a national / regional data base of surgeons listed by name, experiences and number of specific surgeries carried out with successful results/ failed results ? What organisation keeps track? How can we know if a surgeon has ever done a surgery like I need ? I am starting to doubt what they say . What they can/ cannot do? Why are they allowed to practice and not do surgeries ? Just profess to be experts ! Welcome your comments . Become sicker and sceptical!!!!!!
