I saw the cardiologist yesterday.
1. Next CT and Echo Cardiogram both in June 2024
2. Stress test next week
3. Once aneurysm is 5.0, he wanted to reference to the surgeon and start talking about surgery.
4. Cleveland, Mayo or Boston are the best he said.
5. Graft is the only option for me.
6. Risk is there but 2-3%
7. Recovery can be long and depends on individual
8. They may or may not change Aortic Valve depending on how much stenosis there
9. Also, surgery can be 2 years out or 10 depending on how my aneurysm grows in next few reports.

Mean time, be healthy, control BP and workout everyday and maintain 140 to 145 heartbeat during cardio workout.

Hope this helps.

That is exactly what my doctors said both primary and cardio. They basically said mine is small 4.1 and may never need surgery just to monitor. I also go in June for another look see. If it is still the same they will call it stable and not look again for a couple of years. Mine was found in 2018 during a Catheterization
