- Aneurysm with a high risk of rupture based on shape or location.
- Patient with a connective tissue disorder (e.g., Marfan syndrome) and a smaller aneurysm.
- Failed or unsuitable for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Reyansh Johnson, a 68-year-old retired mechanic...
Reyansh Johnson, a 68-year-old retired mechanic and avid fisherman, noticed a persistent, throbbing pain in his abdomen and back for months, which he initially attributed to old work injuries. During a routine check-up, his primary care doctor felt a pulsatile mass in his abdomen. An ultrasound and subsequent CT angiography confirmed a 5.5cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Reyansh was shocked, he felt fine apart from the ache. His vascular surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained that the AAA was at a size where repair was strongly recommended to prevent a catastrophic rupture. Given Reyansh's overall good health, they opted for an open aneurysmectomy with a graft. The prospect of major surgery scared the normally stoic man; he worried about not being able to rebuild his boat engine or take his grandkids fishing. The open surgery was a significant physical ordeal, requiring a five-day hospital stay and intense pain management. Recovery at home was slow, with weeks of limited lifting and walking slowly to rebuild strength. A year later, Reyansh is back on his boat, the abdominal pain gone. Emotionally, he moved from denial and fear to immense gratitude. He sees his scar as a badge of survival and uses his experience to gently nag his old friends about getting their own check-ups, his gruff exterior softened by the vulnerability he faced.
