A member asked:
Can you offer tips for someone about to go through aaa repair surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preparation: Like anything else, the better shape you are in going into surgery, the better your results coming out. If you are smoking, stop before surgery. Exercise (walking) helps. A lot depends on the type of repair you are having, either endovascular or open. Endovascular is less invasive, but the durability is unknown.
