My former boss lost his brother to an aortic aneurysm. When his brother failed to answer a phone call, my boss went to his home. The TV was on. His brother was seated on the couch holding a popsicle stick. What remained of the popsicle had melted down his arm. He had been dead for a while. When an aneurysm pops, you have about 10 seconds of consciousness remaining...if you notice at all.
I bookmarked this thread and will seek to leverage the info. I have two competing items seeking to unalive me. One is the aneurysm. The other is recurrence of the ampullary cancer if there was any undetected metastasis.
Get those triglycerides down.
Personally, I would do the following:
Start taking Type 1 collagen peptides. Prefer Verisol powder, which is tested for skin. Costco has an online sale on the one we use until 8/30:
trunature Verisol Collagen Powder 2,500 mg., 10.58 Ounces
It is an excellent buy.
Additionally, try Doctors Best Vein Support, which has Hesperidin and Diosmin in it.
Supplements that can help with repairing the endothelial layer include Arterosil and Endocalyx Pro.
We actually take these supplements every day, minus the Arterosil, which we did for a year, then moved to Endocalyx Pro. They are different items that both help.
Palmitic Acid: Physiological Role, Metabolism and Nutritional Implications

The last half of the abstract hangs palmitic acid problems on too many calories from carbs and high palmitic acid fats vs. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats in the diet.
This is also interesting on the likely cause, not getting enough oleic acid vs palmitic acid in the diet:
Dietary intake of palmitate and oleate has broad impact on systemic and tissue lipid profiles in humans
