@mikeneverwired hello, may I ask how you are doing now? And also how old you are? I am 53 F and was told my Ascending Aorta was dialated at 3.9 cm one year ago. Now one year later new scan says 4.2 cm. The latest scan also said that my previous measure was 4.0cm. I question where that number came from. I had a scan this January that said “no aneurysm” but did not provide a measurement. I noted that the scan I had last year and just this month were both low dose lung ct scans that are non gated. The scan I had in January was a gated ct scan without contrast. I’ve read that the gated scans vs non gated can show significant differences in measurements due to one being timed with ekg at same point in cardiac cycle and the non gated is not timed and is measured at any random point in the cycle between systole and diastole. This makes it frustrating when trying to determine if I’ve had true growth over this year or is this just considered image modality differences, artifact differences, or radiologist measurements differences. Glad to hear from others who have had the surgery and are doing well on the other side. Gives me hope. Wishing you good health!
