A member asked:
My dad had an aortic aneurysm and had his aorta repaired. he says he's experiencing a burning sensation in his stomach now. what could it be?

Several possibilitie: Assuming his aneurysm repair was performed by a large abdominal incision, the burning could be related to the incision, the stitches used to close the incision, or adhesions inside the abdomen which occur after this operation. If the repair was through the groin and placing a stent graft, this answer would not apply. Need more information.

Probably not his AAA: A burning sensation in the stomach is usually due to reflux or heartburn. This is very common and not related to the repair; however, if he is concerned, he should discuss it with his doctor.
