I, too, live in your area, but those hospitals you are asking about aren’t on the top ten list. They are great hospitals! However, I can’t find any info indicating ascending aortic aneurysm specialists. Post if you see updates info that indicates otherwise.

Yes, I doubt my cardiologist will refer me to a Dr at mayo or Cleveland . I am hopefully years away if ever to need surgery but so far my aneurism has grown .1 mm a year so at that rate I am 9 years away from needing surgery if 5.0 is that size .

I will let you know. I think there is one Dr at INOVA who is participating in the trial for less invasive treatment of ascending aortic aneurism. .
