Are there new breakthroughs for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm surgeries?
I have a AAA, and I am being monitored for the size. It has stayed stable now for 3 years with a 3.9 Cm in size. My fear is that I know the surgery is one of the hardest surgeries to have. I know years ago that survival was very slim, but I would like to know what to expect now if I have to undergo the surgery at some point,

My Vascular surgeon wants to place a stint in my abdominal aorta to block blood flow to my aneurysm. He mentioned that this could affect my colon. Maybe 1% of those having this proceedure done experience this. I'm still confused about this. Can someone add any information about this that would better help me to understand. I'm stressed out. Thank you
