@mleiva1234 It sounds like our TAAs are about the same size, but you are a step or two ahead of me in the process of addressing it. Was the final consensus on the size of yours 4.8cm? My most CT showed 4.8cm. I also have a fairly well functioning bicuspid aortic valve. Did you have any additional factors that led to an earlier surgery, e.g. genetic condition, connective tissue disorder, or bicuspid aortic valve? Thanks and best wishes to you.
