All AAA surgery is risky but with a good cardiovascular surgeon and having it done at a hospital system that deals with these types of conditions regularly really helps in my opinion. We went through two other hospital systems before deciding on the surgeon we chose. My husband did very well. He had the EVAR procedure which is the less invasive one and was discharged the following day. We go for his follow up next week. Good luck to your husband. I believe the new cut off guidelines are surgery at 5.0 cm instead of 5.5 cm.
