I agree with @moonboy, get a second opinion ASAP, every two year monitor is not right. I was 54 when they found my 5.2cm aneurysm, I found the best thoracic surgeon in Houston and his recommendation was to have it repaired as soon as possible. He also referred me to a cardiologist who specializes in aortic diseases and he had the same opinion. In my case 5.2 was considered large for my body size and there was a history of aneurysms in my family, they also took into account my age, the fact that I was in great physical health, never smoked, and that made the surgery minimum risk. Find the best thoracic surgeon available to you, or go to a major heart center even if you have to travel, this is one of the cases when you do anything to get this resolved properly.
Good luck to you!!!

Hey there… I’m in Houston and my Ascending aorta is at 4.5 and I was hoping you could give me the names of your two doctors so that I could get a second opinion?

Thanks 🙏
