Thank you for your response. I am seeking an appointment with him based on my research but I was wondering if he ever did virtual appointments and how difficult it is to obtain an appointment. Some of the physicians have a waiting list up to a year.

I understand the aneurysm tend to be slow growing but I have presenting symptoms of difficulty swallowing and intermittent hoarseness so I know the aneurysm is pressuring on the nerve to the larynx so the sooner the appointment the better.

I am so grateful for these forums and the people that take the time to respond.

The discovery came as an incidental finding so I am trying to educate myself the best I can. Thank you

Wish I could answer your questions but my surgery was scheduled so quickly, I never had time to think about it. Talked with Dr Pochettino while at Mayo along with Dr Oderich. Think you should start trying now to get an appointment. Mayo will want CT scans plus lots of other health measures. Aneurysms can burst and that’s serious, if not life threatening. Good luck to you!
