Are there new breakthroughs for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm surgeries?

Is a pill for Aneurysms being developed??

I had my procedure at Froedert also! The Vascular Surgeon was Neal Mansukani. He left, and now I have Dr. Dyer who monitors me once a year.

I've been telling my Vascular surgeon of 8 years now I'm still waiting for a, "the pill!" 😆

I’m so glad I came upon your post. My husband who turns 70 this week was diagnosed with a genetic mutation called Loeys-Dietz Syndrome about 3 years ago. This condition causes aneurysms. He is scheduled to have an EVAR AAA repair on 10/8/25. It measures 5.2 cm and the vascular surgeon at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee stated that the old guideline of waiting until 5.5 cm has been lowered to 5.0 cm. We are terrified to be honest especially me. Your experience is encouraging. I hope my husband’s surgery goes as well as yours. Hope you’re still doing well.

Just wanted to be sure to let everyone know I was referencing the EVAR procedure, only!

Hi: Your message was so encouraging. I have had my Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm now going on 5 years, and I go next week to have it checked for size. So far it has not gotten to a 4, but I will know if it has grown next week. Did you say that you went home the same day? I am under the impression that its a bit of a hospital stay after the surgery.
I have so many health issues, and I do not want to worry about this AAA right now.
Praying that you continue to do well. I am so glad that they are coming up with better treatments for this condition than the choices we had years ago.
God Bless You!!

I have 5.4 AAA and scheduled for operation 22May . What is available for video of operation?

Hi: That is great news. One of my doctors told me that by the time I need the surgery they might be able to just scan me to dissolve it. He said that in a funny way to make me relax, but Thank God for all the new forms of surgery that are less invasive for everything.
9.5 is extremely huge!!!
