Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm repair by EVAR

Posted by luckybear @luckybear, Dec 4, 2022

I am scheduled to have endovascular repair of my 5.1 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm was wondering if anyone here has had this procedure and how they fared , not sure if I will do it due to the complication possibilities afterwards , but would like to hear of others experience, I’m 64 , male in otherwise fairly healthy, moderate high blood pressure and cholesterol, thanks

Are you having it via a catheter done through your legs. I know now it’s minimally evasive. You should be fine. My dad had it done conventionally and he he was fine. It just a rough recovery because it’s abdominal surgery and they cut through the muscle as is standard for abdominal surgery. Don’t worry either was you will be fine and that’s what matters

Glad to hear your dad is doing ok. I too had my aneurysm/dissection repaired conventionally this last December. I was wondering how long was his recovery and did experience any type of “episodes “ during the recovery period?
Thanks,
Dan
