Surgery for Sporadic Aortic Aneurysms of the Aortic Root and Ascending Aorta

[@gsp2west]

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,

Hello doctor, i just did a scaner today and my aorta is 5.5cm i have marfan syndrome, and i will go on monday to meet an surgeon and let the data for operation, but im scared, 5.5 is in the risk zone right? And im home, not in hospital, till the day thay decide when to do the surgery

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.?

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
