Thanks for sharing.
We don’t know yet for sure from MAYO at what diameter they would recommend surgery. We just asked for a surgical consult.
I would guess though, since his aortic root aneurysm is 4.9 ( January 2025)and was 4.0 in 2023, that they would discuss surgery at 5.0 due to the fairly quick growth, and the moderate to severe aortic valve regurgitation .
His family history of heart disease is not complete, since his father was adopted….his dad did have a heart attack though.
His blood pressure has been pretty unstable since 2023 after he started treatment for aggressive prostate cancer…just recently has been more stable with two meds.
It will be interesting to hear what Cleveland Clinic recommends for you!
Best of luck!
