What Is the Long-Term Survival Rate for Aortic Aneurysm?

Long-term survival rates after aortic aneurysm repair are also constant across populations who have open surgery and those who receive less-invasive procedures, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. While the less-invasive procedure has some benefits for younger patients, those over 70 do not show any increased survival as a result. Repair of aneurysms in patients over 70 appears to add no significant life expectancy compared to simply leaving the aneurysm untouched.
