Thanks for sharing the chart. With my height at 1.75 m and adding the diameter and length (4.8 cm and 11.3 cm) of my aneurysm, I am feeling much more confident in my decision to have surgery.

And I remeasured myself ( posted on other thread as 10.1 + or - 1.0. You are also under the ‘hinge’ point mentioned in the article of 11.5 (another at 12.5). These seem to be like the diameter hinges of 5.5 and 6.0 with sudden increases in adverse events. Suggests you’ll be fine until surgery but completely understandable to not wait until at the actual points.
