Was the rate of growth concerning to your doctors?
Mine has grown from 3.9 to 4.0 in 20 years. It’s considered stable and at 77 I’m hoping it stays that way.
Good luck to you!

My aneurysm has gone from 4.1 cm in 2021 to ~4.8-4.9 cm today depending on who is measuring. Again depending on who is measuring some say it grew 0.4 cm in the past year. But no one has expressed concern about the growth.
Yours sounds very stable.
Good luck to you as well.

Pretty much the same here, I'm also 77, mine has stayed 4.6 for 16 years and hope it stays that way.
