My father in law, my wife’s uncle and my uncle all had abdominal aneurysms. All had their aneurysms detected almost by shear luck and all survived the surgery. My father in law had two aneurysms on each side af the aorta the size of grapefruits astounding his Mayo Clinic surgeon.
Because of a very observant V.A. Dr on a routine visit found my AAA, I was able to have a successful repair via an Aortic graft done 10 years ago by a fantastic vascular surgeon.
