@manisham @happilyalive I believe the aneurysm occurs elsewhere along the aorta close to the stenosis site. I picture one of those long sausage like balloons being blown up in a way that creates a bulge along the way when pinched … for example (picture #2 here) …?
@manisham I am sure your vascular surgeon will be able to explain the aortic stenosis vs. aortic aneurysm confusion, He would be the most qualified person to explain the difference between the two.
From what I understand, an aortic stenosis could lead to an aneurysm somewhere else along the aorta because of restrictive blood flow through the aorta - sort of like a kink in a garden hose can create pressure on another part of the hose - not a clear analogy, but I hope you can get at least a vague idea how that can happen.
I would imagine a vascular surgeon could also deal with cardiovascular problems …?
