Just a guess. Everybody thought I got a stent. Instead I got two emergency open heart surgeries and weeks in a coma. You're gonna have a much better experience because you know you've got a problem and you're not going to allow it to go unaddressed. In my case in 2015, I had absolutely no idea what an aorta even was or that mine could explode. You're gonna be fine, but you need to find yourself a really good thoracic surgeon who cuts people open for a living and repairs aortas. A cardiologist is just not sufficient for this condition.
