Hi. I live in The Villages, Florida near Ocala Florida. The size of my ascending aorta aneurysm is 4.2 cm.
Where do you live?
I’ve called Mayo in Rochester and Mayo in Florida and Cleveland clinic and had difficulty seeing a cardiologist or vascular surgeon. I’m ending up with an appointment at Advent health Waterman in Tavares Florida. People tell me this is a small aneurysm and they don’t do anything until it gets to 5 cm but I keep wondering how they test the growth other than having you re-image in six months. Yes this could make us very anxious. I support you in what you find for yourself. Please keep in touch. Nancy

If you are willing to travel further, Mayo Phoenix may be easier to get into. The saw me right away and scheduled surgery within a week. 4.9 root and 4.5 Assending. Though I prior had a cerebral Aneurysm repaired, which sped up my timeline for my chest.
