I have ascending aortic dilatation (or aneurysm), but too small for surgery yet, thankfully. Watch and see with yearly followups. Just found out an in-law also is watching this as his sister passed suddenly from it at age 57 in otherwise great health. His is also too small for surgery currently. Maybe we both will be blessed with no change in the size in the future? Hope so. Thanks for your care and concern! means a lot.
