Thank you for your very helpful reply! I'm curious, do you live near the Clevland Clinic? I wonder if I must journey to a heart center or use local physicians. I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, specifically, St. Petersburg. We have good hospitals here but there is an excellent facility in Miami, Mount Sinai that has an aortic center. Did you establish care close to home or do you travel to see your doctor(s). Sorry for all the basic questions, I am trying to navigate this as best I can. ~S

I have local physicians and a set at Cleveland. I live 4 hours from Cleveland.

I live in Lakeland Florida. I just saw a doctor here that i was referred to and am waiting for them to decide if i am a candidate for a Stent. Mine is 5.5. If not he said I would need to wait until it is 6 because of the risk involved in open surgery. I really would like to go to The place in Miami but I dont think my insurance is accepted there, Guess I will just hope and pray I can hold out till I can change my insurance company. I will update you on my outcome.
