    Re: Rehabilatation after Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operation

    Can you give us more information? Open surgery,Keyhole Arthroscopy? What was used for the surgery and when etc. You question is a bit general and the cardiac surgeon should have their own strict early post op rehab protocol to follow. Also in answering this question we would also need a full patient overview/history including any other issues, risk factors etc.

    Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a ballooning or widening of the main artery. It is a gradual process that occurs primarily in elderly people. It doesn't really occur in young people. A new treatment procedure called endovascular treatment is now being used and patients can go home in 24 hours.
