[SEL] O.T. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

[Arthur Buchanan]

       I was operated on for  a abdominal aeurysm on 1/25/06.The size of the aneurysm was 5.1x6.7 cm. The  Aortic  was slit open and a 3/4" plastic tube was inserted and the Aortic trimed and sewed back to gether,also the artories for both legs were replaced. At 76 it has taken a while to recover,but should be bach in my shop soon,
  The reason for this comment is to let  let you know this condition is commond and people die from it every day because they do not know. There is no pain until it ruptures and then it is too late.
