I had my repair at Abbott hospital in Minneapolis Minnesota. The surgeon was well known. He has written papers on AAA. I. personally believe if the surgeon has preformed the surgery before a number of times successfully he knows what.he is doing. Let me know when.amd if you.need surgery how it turned out. Thank you and good luck.😇👃👃

The surgeon is around 40 something, has done about 20 surgeries . Mine is not bicuspid.maybe in 10 years he’ll be even more expert, if he’s affiliated there any more.

Could I get the name of your surgeon, if you are comfortable with that? I am now seeing someone at Regions and while I am happy with him I would prefer to have the surgery closer to my family in the west suburbs. My aneurysm is at 4.9 to 5 cm and I'm told this is something I need to do now. We've been watching if for almost 12 years. My dad died at 48 of an AAA in 1971.
