What is the correct cm in thoracic aorta ansersym to have surgery

I had high hopes of being accepted into this Trial at the major medical center where my ascending aortic aneurysm is monitored by a Cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in diseases of the Aorta. I too did not have a sufficient landing zone which is a requirment to participate in the trial. To say I was disappointed is ann understatement. Open heart surgery is my only option at this time at 5.5cm.

My husband and I were similarly disappointed. He is at 5.0 cm now but this growth has been very slow. He was at 4.3 in 2007 and 4.9 in 2021, we were not forewarned in 2007 and so my husband continued to do heavy lifting and all the things that probably made the aneurysm increase in size.
