Ascending thoracic aneurysm: What should I do and not do?

I have been told that I have an Aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva, measuring 5.2cm. it has not changed in a year but I am scheduled to have surgery in March. the position of the aneurysm is near the coronary artery, which if it were to grow it could pinch it and cause a heart attack. what are the thoughts on just monitoring this?

I’m curious when and where you are scheduled for surgery. I also have an aneurysm in my sinus of valsalva and it measures 4.8 which was discovered last year. I’m scheduled for another CT scan at the end of this month and meeting with a surgeon at Cleveland Clinic.
