Hmmm, they repaired yours at 5.2? I am Medicare age at 68 and I don’t even have a choice until it reaches 5.5.

The size is a reference they take into account body size, shape of the aneurysm, location, etc mine was thoracic (ascending) and considered large for my body frame, I’m 5’ 6” and 158 lbs. the surgeon told me that it was actually larger when he removed it.
