What kind of support might be required for somebody after having an aneurysm repair? I think that largely depends on the individual and also again on the nature of the repair that they've had. I mean I've touched upon earlier that you know open repair can sap the strength out of you for a number of months to come so obviously modifications surrounding that you know would potentially involve ground floor living, maybe a carer or a partner indeed to help with the shopping, to help with meal times etc. So I think obviously some support is better than no support, particularly if undertaking the more strenuous repair which is the open surgery.
