wow Bill, I'm so sorry to hear. here's something i read:

Quote:
Treatment is usually recommended when an AAA grows to >5.5 cm in diameter. While in the past the only option for the treatment of AAA was open surgery, today most are treated with Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR). EVAR has been widely adopted, as EVAR has a lower risk of death associated with surgery (0.5% for EVAR vs 3% for open surgery). Open surgery is sometimes still preferred to EVAR, as EVAR requires long-term surveillance with CT Scans.
I will light a candle in prayer, and I hope you'll receive some encouraging news from the surgeon; I personally feel risky procedures require at least a couple professional opinions.
God bless,
Darius
