Thanks Chris, my surgery is scheduled for May 29th. My aorta is 5.2 and I'm 73. My Mitral valve will also be repaired at the same time. I am educating myself so I know what is available and recommended when I meet with my Cardiologist and Heart Surgeon,
I have a 4.1 aortic root dilation and was sent home. They want to "monitor" me in 6 mo by doing a CT scan snd echo. This has given me a severe depression
Same just had my test waiting to see my cardiologist I am so nervous 😩 it runs in my family my mother passed she never made it Thur surgery. They happen to find my brothers ready to rupture never knew he had one. His was 10.1 . Mine not having me to cat scan I think that test shows a different size. My anxiety Thur the roof. Good luck it’s scary 😟
Hey doc thanks for the video can it take a while for these to grow bigger? I will be 66 next month and mine is 4.1 . Is that insanely large for my age? Appreciate your help . It’s scary 😦 Thank you
Have you ever seen a ascending aortic aneurysm get smaller. I was diagnosed with one at 4.2 and now they say it is 3.6.?
