I had aneurysm clipping at 7mm. It depends upon the shape of the aneurysm. My was very irregular and likely to burst. I won the jackpot though, I also have an assending and root aorta aneurysm. Having surgery for that in 3 weeks. The recovery from open brain surgery actually not too bad at all. Not looking forward to open heart surgery.

I had a 5.1 ascending AA found incidentally 2 months ago. Self-referred to Mayo Phx after Banner Tucson CT surgeon told me they don't operate below 5.5 cm, wasn't interested in research about ascending AAs in long-term endurance athletes, could give no guidance for endurance activities while waiting 6 months to check it again. Impressed with Mayo cardiologist who has referred me to Dr. Sell-Dottin for surgery so very reassuring to find your post with raves about her. I am 67, very fit and active, and do not see any reason to wait as the window for enjoying a very active lifestyle is shrinking. My awareness of the aneurysm has zapped joy from exertional activity and I want it all in the rear view mirror as soon as possible. Is that crazy? Curious if you considered any other surgeon at Mayo or elsewhere before scheduling with Sell-Dottin.

Congratulations, you have successfully clipping before it ruptures. Today’s vascular surgery for Aorta Aneurysm is very efficient and successful, Wishing you have successfully surgery and recovery.
