Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Posted by naydroj4u @naydroj4u, Sep 23 10:34am

Any new treatments in treating Aortic Aneurysms? Any new treatments to shrink growing Aneurysms? An 8cm Aneurysm in an 89 year old woman, about to turn 90 in 4 months, Overall, in good health. Lives on her own, gets around on her own. Multiple Myeloma diagnosis for 2 years now. She has a good Vascular Doctor and Oncologist and Primary Doctor. Just seeing if anyone is aware of any treatments to treat an Aneurysm of that size.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aortic Aneurysms Support Group.

Because of her age they may not want to do surgery 8 cm is pretty large, I thought ?

@pattymc You are 100% correct about them not operating because of her age. It's almost as if you're a sitting duck with no options, waiting for that thing to burst.
