I am 71 and mine is 5.5/6 depending on how it is measured. I am waiting on my Dr I just saw 2 days ago to decide if he can do EVAR . I am going to have it done if I can. I feel like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Good Luck with your decision!

My father in law is a little older than you and has had an abdominal aneurysm for many, many years around the same size actually. They continue to just monitor. You are going to be fine. They will monitor and correct if necessary. Be well.

I am in the exact same situation. I will be 72 this month and mine is 5.5/6 and i am waiting to see if he can do an EVAR also. I am having problems getting things approved with my insurance and have changed insurance and hoping I can get the CT scan he needs soon. Prayers that everything goes well for you. I was also denied a 2nd opinion. Wish I knew what is the best insurance to get this done.
