Is a 4,1 AAA something to worry about.

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.

@mwendt54 Thank You for your response. How did your husband do with the surgery itself. I know there are so many new advances that we have now that were not available years ago, but the thought of open heart surgery is a concern for anybody who has to endure it. I appreciate any information you can give me so I am ready to handle what is ahead. Hope you and your husband are doing well now.
