@farmerken thank you! I asked the surgeon I met with today and he didn’t seem too interested in pursuing that. I pushed a little and he said he’d could go ahead with it if I wanted to. I’m going to pursue this with my second opinion doc.

@farmerken
I am also new to the group. I have a 4.7cm AAA with a bicuspid aorta heart defect. I also have Sjogren's which is considered a connective tissue disorder. Being monitored at this time through thoracic surgeon. What connect tissue disorder do you have and how is it being monitored in relation to AAA?
