Abdominal Aorta stenosis

Thanks for the reply. I was just diagnosed with the same issue: severe atherosclerosis in the abdominal aorta. I don’t know the extent of the narrowed aorta and will have an ultrasound next week. I’m trying to read what I can and most responses says it’s a serious condition, but I saw a cardiologist this week and he said it’s not that rare a condition for older people. Did you have your appointment with your vascular surgeon yet? I would be interested in what you find out. Thank you and please take care. You’ve been through a lot.

Sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis! Yes, I did see my Vascular surgeon after abdominal sonogram. Due to stomach gases, tech could not see the full aorta. Part of aorta was ok! Surgeon has requested MRI imaging disc from AZ hospital where MRI was done, while traveling! So let’s see! I have appointment with cardiologist 7/10! Yes when you research all these, results are concerning! But there are no option other then to go with what the experts tell you! Like cardiologist and Vascular surgeon. With my past multiple cardiac arrest history, I am trying to be as proactive as possible! And keep my medical team aware of it all. But I am always hopeful and positive! They have come through for me many times!
Wishing you all the best! And please keep posting and sharing!
