How To Treat Aortic Aneurysm In A Person With Chronic Pain Syndrome?
I have a ascending aortic aneurysm that is very large. I decided not to have surgery b because I was told it would require bypass surgery. I am 71with several health problems including chronic pain syndrome low back and chronic arthritis. Recently I heard on Tv there is a new procedure that doesn’t require bypass surgery. Is that true?
