If it is at 5cm, it is time to do something. There's a good chance it can dissect or rupture between 5 and 5.5. You need to consult with a surgeon that is experienced with this and works at a center that does lots of these. By AAA, do you mean abdominal? If so, at 5.0, EVAR may be an option.

AAA is Ascending Aortic Aneurysm. I am followed by a Cardiothoracic surgeon specifializing in aortic diseases at a major medical center. EVAR/TEVAR is not an option for me as I do not have sufficient landing zone to secure the graft.
