@degarden_girl Thanks for replying to my message. My friend is like 76. She watched her sister die from bleeding out in the er because they just didn’t do anything until it was too late. I hope she does go to mayo. And see what they say. Thanks again garden girl.

@sakota If your friend needs repair but is not ready for the open chest surgery, she should definitely talk to her cardio about the non-invasive insertion of the stent in the artery. I suspect that requires little down time. I wonder what size her AAA is and how fast it is growing. I'm 74 in January and I hope to die from some unrelated issue in about 20 years or more. Or, if the AAA blows, so be it. It would be a fast way to go and hopefully without nursing home residence in the mix.
