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.

I’ve read heavy lifting is a no no with boarder line arota If 5.0 cm is still the cut off for surgery your husband is very close . But also doesn’t mean he has an immediate issue . It may never get to 5.0 and it could change this year ,unpredictable . I’ve had a 4.3 for years . I have lots of heart issues none of my doctors have even mentioned it to me after all the tests I’ve had over the years . So just make sure your doctor is aware of it during visits. And it never hurts to get a second opinion . Good luck
