Hi. New here but I've been lurking. This site seems to be more directed to brain aneurysms, but there's others...

I have 3 aneurysms. Ascending aortic artery, left common illiac artery, and abdominal aortic artery.

The ascending aortic artery dissected in January 2004. Right at the heart. They did the open heart surgery (yay - emergency - helicopter ride to the hospital!) at that time.

I just got told the left common illiac artery aneurysm needs repair. So - another surgery in a couple weeks. I'm NOT looking forward to this...

The abdominal aortic artery aneurysm is stable for now.

So, I'm a survivor and an anticipatory recipient.

Kinda sucks...
