@lori555 hi, pretty scary stuff huh? I personally expect human error somewhere in the whole process but at the same time just totally unacceptable when we’re talking about your heart! So I think it might be prudent to double if not triple check those results- passes through a lot of hands, different people’s opinions and well, lots of room for error- plus you have every right to know “exactly” what’s going on so you can make “exactly” the right decision for you. Best wishes

@chebo1954 had a cta chest w/contrast 2weeks ago since i had a ct scan for something else in july '25 it showed my dilated aortic aneurysm root measuring 5.3 cm. so i went to cardio surgeon and got the above mentioned procedure and it showed my aortic root to be only 4.9cm, ascending aorta 4.5, and descending being only 3cm. should i be concerned.? doc told me to have similar tests next year at this time again.
