What are the current treatments for abdominal aortic aneurysms?

Question
Doctor, my father just went to the doctor and found out that the abdominal aortic aneurysm >7mm. Three children were asked to operate. The cost of surgery is 400 million VND. Don't know if there are other effective ways to treat the disease? Looking forward to consulting your doctor.

Hi,
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the abdominal aorta is enlarged. If not treated promptly, there is a risk of rupture and death. With aneurysm size > 7mm, intervention is indicated. Currently, there are two methods:
Open surgery (replacing the aneurysm of the abdominal aorta with an artificial tube). Using endovascular intervention (aortic stent grafting). Endovascular intervention is a minimally invasive method of intervention, the patient does not need to undergo major surgery. However, to do this, the patient has an appropriate anatomical lesion and requires high funding.
