Is your AAA abdominal? Normally that’s what the first A stands for. If it is then you have options, EVAR which is relatively minimally invasive. If it is ascending then the option is OH, and the viability does depend on the person, a thoracic surgeon with an specialized cardiologist would help the patient assess the options.

@houston13 aaa stands for ascending aortic aneurysm thoracic.

@houston13 Yes it is Abdominal and the Illiac Artery. Its 1" and I'd like to ask how long have others lived after this procedure?
