What is the need for follow up or further procedures after aneurysm repair?

Mr Gibbs discusses with Mr Jaffer that patients who have open repair usually require less follow up and may only need one or two follow up appointments with a scan to make sure there are no issues with the repair. But for endovascular (keyhole) repair, more regular follow up is needed, at least every year, because it tends to be less durable and can lead to complications, and these may require further procedures.
