thoracic aortic aneurysm larger than 7

I have a hard time with 2 doctors saying its a good way to day. That said, her age is a concern for open heart surgery. Unless its the descending aortic artery that is what we be required to do surgery. An EVAR procedure 'may' be feasible on a descending aortic aneurysm. Does she have a cardiologist and/or surgeon that specializes in aortic aneurysms?

Yes, we just met with a specialist at Eisenhower in Rancho Mirage. He seemed great, and said he would love to do the surgery because it was an interesting case. He said that he had done a ton of aortic aneurysm surgeries. However, when she asked him his advice for what she should do he told her that she should probably not do the surgery since she was 90 and the aneurysm really wasn't hindering her quality of life.
