You need to get a 2nd opinion from an experienced thoracic surgeon in a major medical center. At 5.5 you should be a candidate for surgery soon (assuming no other health issues)

Doctor is saying correct. Does the patients here think the surgeon in any hospital in USA are not aware of what the risk is who operates on patients day in day our.
Risk definition is very objective, some surgeon can say 0.5 percent risk is too much And I will operate on every patient at 5 cm while for other surgeons the 1 percent risk is acceptable.
Reality is for up to 50 yr old and 5.5 cm aneurysm risk is 0.6 percent for 5 yr and will you consider surgery for that?
