Which surgeons at Mayo Clinic would you recommend for upcoming surgery

Posted by rphiller @rphiller, Nov 19, 2024

Hello all,

First off, this group has really brought a lot of clarity after being diagnosed with a 5.1cm (Echo) Ascending Aortic Aneurysm a couple of weeks ago. I just had my CT scan done last night and the official number I was given is 4.9cm. Since I have a little time to start planning and preparing for surgery, who here has had their surgery performed at Mayo and which surgeon did you use? I've been debating between Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic and they both seem to have top-tier programs. Mayo happens to be quite a bit closer to my hometown so I'm leaning that way. Thanks in advance, and I look forward to your responses!

Please include me in this conversation, as well! I am 72 with a 4.3 cm AAA (surgery recommended as soon as 4.5) and recently diagnosed with very early Alzheimer's (so I am very interested in the brain perfusion topic). I reside in St. Paul, MN, so I think that Mayo would be the logical choice.
Thank You
