I am considering Mayo for my repair. I also live alone and I live in Minneapolis. How did you handle after care? Are you in Rochester? If not, did you have to travel there for rehab or could that be done elsewhere? All of this will go into my decision about a surgeon and hospital. I only get one second opinion so I am trying to learn from other's experiences.

My experiance is that Mayo is very good about treating patients from the Twin Cities. I have been treated by them for the past 3 years monitoring the growth of my aneurysms. After my workup there, I get my yearly CTA at the U of MN and they push it to Mayo where the MD evaluates it and coordinates with my primary care physician. When I need to get them fixed, I plan to go down there for the operation and short term follow up and the return home.
