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.

my main concern MRI in May /25 showed normal , MRI in Nov/25 ( a period of 6 months) shows a 3.cc - to me this appears to be a rapid growth
best of the holiday to you and yours

@mwendt54 Hi: I read your comment again, and did not realize he had the minimally invasive surgery. That is great. I did post that my cardiologist told me that mine is 4.9, and not 4.1 as I thought. I will try to keep in touch with hopes that I can encourage others along the way.
