That was the AAA. I had a bleed by my heart so they had to open me a second time. That was Feb 2024. In Oct I had an ascending Aorta repaired through open heart and got a fresh batch of scars. Time heals all, one way or another. 🤣

Oh I am so sorry you had to go through all that. I have an ascending aortic aneurysm . It was 4.1 last June. I am hoping thus June it has not grown.
It was discovered when I had a CT scan of my lungs because I used to smoke. If I hadn’t had that I would have never known. My cardiologist put me on crestor and a baby aspirin.
I hope I don’t have to have open heart surgery. I am so sorry.
I am hoping that by the time I need surgery they will have developed a less invasive way to repair the heart.
I hope you are healing well and can go on with your life knowing now that you have many years to enjoy life!!
