I am not disagreeing with you about the harmful effects of sleep apnea. I have sleep apnea and I use a cpap mask to sleep. What I am concerned about is saying sleep apnea affects aortic aneurysm, unless you can point to research that establishes the connection.

Common sense says sleep apne probably won't help anything since stopping breathing effects your heart but it may not be directly harmful

It is number 2 because to manage blood pressure issues etc., it has to be managed. Sleep Apnea is a common problem whereas TAA aren't which is why it is paramount to go to a center that specializes in things like Bentall procedures etc.
As far as medical papers, there are several:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26221978/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33214207/
Those articles also have citations to other apnea and aortic studies.
