What is the post-operative care of abdominal aortic aneurysm?

Depends: There is a big difference between an open repair and an endovascular repair. Open repairs require aggressive cardio-pulmonary resuscitation post-op. Depending on the extent of the repair patients are often kept intubated the first night. Endovascular procedures are typically less of a physiological burden on the body and patients are extubated the same day and typically go home the next day.

Endograft: Patients go home in a day or so. Wound care at groin incision. Light activity for 2 weeks.

Post op care AAA: For open repairs one goes home working on return to normal diet and activity level in a gradual fashion. Surgical clips from the incision closure are usually removed at 14 days post-procedure. Endovascular repairs are typically easier with two small groin incisions to recover from. Your diet has not really been altered in that procedure.
