I had surgery for aortic aneurysm 7/29/16 and am a very senior citizen (old) and it went very well and recovery also went smoothly. Had a great surgeon at Mayo, Dr. Pochettino. This was done at the Rochester Clinic, cannot find enough praise for the doc and all his assistants and all the nursing staff.

I second morningglory’s post. I had the same surgery with the same doctor on 5/10/2016. I had zero problems after the surgery. Mayo is a great clinic for heart problems. Recovery was swift and no particular problem in the hospital. Cannot say enough good about the hospital. The hospital has plenty of help and on the open heart floor, there is 1 very competent nurse for every two patients. Every nurse I had was extremely competent and kind.
