@cdt55 I was just diagnosed with an 6cm AAA. Is it urgent that I get surgery?

@jrcollins999 Yes. To confirm, are you referring to an Ascending Aortic Aneurysm (normally referred to as a TAA not an AAA) and not an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm? If you are referring to an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, then the 5-5.5cm size might be incorrect. This forum thread is specific for TAAs. There are other threads for AAAs. Hope this helps.
