I am at 5.0 cm with no growth in 3 years, 70 years old and healthy. Doc is pushing for surgery now, and at 5.7 cm I will definitely do the surgery.

Oh, no one seems to know the cause. I have low bp, not overweight, never smoked, low cholesterol, I may have had stressful jobs. I played basketball for 40 years, could be the jumping but do not have Marfan’s.
