Thank you. I did gave them all the results from precious CT and ECHO and they advise it’s all stable.
Then they did their own ECHO and result showing 5.3CM!
They have no good answer. They don’t understand how this can grow 1CM in less than 3 months or it’s an error or anything.
My current cardiologist order me a new CT at the end of this month to confirm which I will do.

I have a similar situation.
Ascending CT was originally 5.4 and after a second trip to the ER (for issues related to the 7.9 AAA surgery in Feb) they did an Echo and it was 6.08. Just had my second CT scan yesterday and it was now 5.6 after 6 months. Either way I crossed the line for surgery. I was just happy not to have a fourth.

2. Fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending thoracic aorta measures 5.8 x 5.6 cm , previously 5.7 x 5.3 cm in similar region. 3. Fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the infrarenal aorta measures up to 4.1 x 3.9 cm, previously 4.0 x 3.8 cm.
