Early surgery: Can I get aortic aneurysm repair before it's 5.0?

What about the Endovascular (TEVAR) procedure? I've been reading about this procedure and it seems to be much less invasive. Like so many people in this forum, my aneurism diagnosis (even though it's under 5 cm) has really changed how I live my life and if this was a treatment option now, I'd probably do it.

I've been told an operation can be dangerous so best to wait. I have waited and now i am close to an operation and older than when it was first diagnosed. I would have preferred an operation earlier but i am not the surgeon. I hope they know what they are doing. They tell you to avoid stress, in this world? Good luck with that, and also not to lift over 50 pounds. That gives me a good excuse at the gym
