I’m so sorry about your friend. The good news is my wife will ring the bell
Friday and her prognosis is great long term.
More good news is my vascular surgeon is a faculty member at the Virginia Tech Carilion school of Medicine. EVAR is a less invasive surgery than traditional aneurysm repair so I’m hoping for a quick recovery.
We both are benefiting from routine screenings during annual checkups.

EVAR for abdominal aorta? It's the best way to repair it.
