You’re welcome @nskinner5 I would find out all my risks before making a decision. Perhaps there is a low chance for an aneurism. Remember, the symptoms of an aneurism are dependent on location so what would the symptoms be if you were to have an aneurism? Sometimes the location of the surgery itself can be risky. In cases where a surgical repair is inoperable an assessment( consisting of tests)is done every six months or so to keep an eye out for a potential aneurism warning. See what it all means for you. I had a team of neurologists which included a neurosurgeon and vascular neurosurgeon. Ask all the questions before coming to a decision. Good luck! Toni
