Aortic Aneurysms - 4.5CM - Bicuspid Valve
Aortic Aneurysms | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (34)Comment receiving replies
Hello Everyone, so Cleveland clinic Cardiologist don't really know as how ECHO can show so much different results then my previous 2 ECO, 1 TEE and 2 CT scans! My highest to-date result is 4.6CM through CT in June 2024 so having this to grow from 4.6CM to 5.3CM in 2 months is puzzling.
I am going for my CT scan tonight and will see, what is right and wrong but will post to this group to let everyone know so if someone in the same boat, can at least have some reference and guidance unlike me.
Thank you all.

I hope you have received some peace of mind! I have a bicuspid aortic valve and aortic aneurysm of 4.4 cm (based on recent CT for a lung issue ... very different from the 4.0 on the Echo that I had 6 months prior.) Was told the CT is the measurement that "counts." I'm shifting care to Cleveland Clinic and have these tests scheduled for end of May. It seems this doc wants a comprehensive picture of the situation, which I appreciate! Here's the list of what she ordered, if it helps. Big hugs.
1. MRI CARDIAC VELOCITY FLOW MAP
2. MRI CARDIAC MORPH FUNC WO/W IVCON
3. MRA CHEST CARDIOVASCULAR WO/W IVCON
4. MRA ABDOMEN WO/W IVCON
5. MRA BRAIN WO IVCON
6. EXERCISE STRESS ECG METABOLIC (WITHOUT IMAGING)
7. ECHO SPECIALIST COMPLEX ADULT CONGENITAL
CONSULT TO MEDICAL
8. GENETICS screening

This was a reply to Fighter but it's not showing up that way for me.
Where did you decide to get your scan?
Good luck! Hopefully the 5.3 was an error somehow.
