I am 69.5 years old with an aorta of 5.1 cm. No growth in the last 3 years. At 5.6 cm surgery is strongly recommended. Surgeons ad pushing to do it now while I am healthy. I share this because you are under 5 cm.

I forgot, every six months they do an MRI with contrast. The measurement has been consistent across machine technicians. I too am weighing the risks of surgery.
