Thank you for posting. How many years ago that you had 4.2 aneurysm and how many years it took to get to 4.4? Let me know what the new scan shows. Thanks again.

If I may add. I have a torn aortic aneurysm and was concerned after the cardiovascular surgeon told me that I was being transferred to a trauma hospital because of my torn aneurysm in my abdomen.

They looked and since it wasn’t bleeding, it’s safe to discharge me with instructions to follow up with my own cardiovascular surgeon. I did and he said that he’s been monitoring my aneurysm once a year. He said “I have been monitoring. Your aneurysm for 10 years. It was not torn initially but it was at 1.7 then and now it’s at 1.7. Despite the tear which he says he didn’t see it the aneurysm isn’t growing. Could it burst I asked him and he said that it could but we have ways of dealing with that.
It’s only stayed the same for 10 years since first noticed.
No more thinking that I’m a walking time bomb. I see him again in one year.
