I'm almost 88, and had a 4.8 AAA discovered about 10 yrs ago. No symtoms. I'm fortunate to have good general health. They image it each year, and it has been stable. I do a brisk 1/2 mile walk most days. My parents both lived to 99 & 98, so I MAY be around for a while. It's helpful to read about other peoples experience with doctors, etc.

I am 80 and had a AAA discovered on 2011 4.5. It has grown very little and is now 4.9. The doctor told me the new size for surgery for AAA is 6cm and likely mine won't get there unless I live to be over 100!!! So I am at ease that I don't have to see surgery in the future.
