dear patient
your mother is suffering from heart disease and aortic aneurysm.since the successful surgery depends on multiple factor so we I can not predict without other details.. there are some score which are required to calculate. but as far as studies conducted in various part of world, 10 year survival is 60 %..and mortality risk during surgery is 8-10 %
