Is an aneurysm over 50mm (5.2cm) dangerous?

Mine was repaired at 5.2 cm (52mm), it was considered large, especially for my body size. My surgeon told me it was actually larger than originally measured when he removed it.

I would find the best surgeon accessible to you, someone who has done hundreds or thousands of these surgeries in a major hospital and get a second opinion ASAP.

You are definitely in the critical zone, keeping your BP in control is crucial.

All the best!!

I was just told I had an aneurysm on my aorta and it hasn’t hemorrhaged yet. But off hand that they have said nothing about treatment, surgery or even the danger of having one. Hope you’ll have better luck than me on that one. Get well, Robert
