Be sure and use only a top surgeon at Mayo or Cleveland Clinic, the 2 best heart health hospitals in America. My surgeon at Cleveland Clinic who removed my aneurism and put in the replacement tube that will be with me in my casket 30 years from now. I'm 75, live a full life, work out daily for 90 minutes, elliptical, treadmill, weights, floor exercises, am an active citizen, board member, happy father of adult children, travel extensively and have no fear that an aneurism will tear and kill me. My surgery was 5 years ago at age 70. 3 weeks rehab and done. Eating right, getting restful sleep, eliminating stress, taking appropriate Rx's, statin, ARB, aspirin and various supplements and I am stronger and better than I was 6 years ago. Reread 1st sentence! Only use the best. My surgeon, only operated on aortic aneurisms, did 400-500 per year, nothing else. He is acknowledged as best in the world!
