4.2 isn’t considered surgery ready. I am 4.2 in 2023. I’ll have another CT next month. My cardiologist says we will discuss surgery at 5.0. I’m 77.

Thank you, Kathy. Do you have any other heart issues, ie leaky valves, blockages?

Surgery depends on more than the size of the aneurysm. I am 5’2”, 103 lbs. I had surgery when mine was at 4.7. So don’t just go on the size of the aneurysm , other factors go into play.
