Is a 4,1 AAA something to worry about.

It turned out that my AAA is 4.9 according to call I received from Cardiologist office, but was still told to repeat again in 12 months. My doctor wants it done every 6 months. No matter what size etc. it is still a concern for anyone who has one.

My husband was being monitored every 6 months for a few years. He had surgery last month when his abdominal aneurysm reached 5.2. The surgeon told us that the new guidelines for surgery are when the size reaches 5.0 cm as opposed to 5.5 cm. Hope you are doing well.
