I corrected a typo mistake about 5.9 I actually have a 4.9 Ascending aortic aneurysm. However I just spoke to a vascular surgeon that said the new measurement for surgery is 6. I don't know your case so you need to individually discuss your case with your cardiac surgeon

I was thinking about scar tissue and long term aneurysms- maybe helpful,
I’ll continue to research!
I have also heard and read that the same diagnostic test should be used bc the siz e can differ from CT to ultrasound or MRI being the most precise.

Someone on this feed said they lost weight and the size decreased by .4 which is very good.
