Mine is 5.2 Dr is recommending surgery at 5.5.
Last echo showed no growth in last 6 months. I am 82 years old and not looking forward to open heart surgery. Very concerned about recovery time

I don’t blame you for being anxious. Some surgeons at our age >80 prefer to leave it alone because of the surgical risk at our age
