I’m sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. Maybe I did and don’t remember lol. In any event, the surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm can be a risky surgery. There are two options, 1)open procedure which is basically abdominal surgery and has more risks and longer recovery or 2)EVAR procedure, a minimally invasive surgery done through the groin and then a stent placed. Shorter procedure and recovery. My husband had EVAR surgery and was discharged the following day. Went in this week for the hospital follow up with the surgeon, had a CT scan and everything is fine, no endoleaks or migration. I hope my answer helps. Good luck to you.
