That TAA is more of an enlargement than an aneurysm. You will be monitored to see if it grows. I’ve had one that size for over 20 years. It’s still stable at 4.0 now. Don’t stress.

Hi Kathy thank you for the advice I did not know it is more an enlargement then aneurysm. This is what the Dr said mine was stable at 3.8 and that it involves the entire visceral segment of the thoracic and upper abdominal aorta this worries me. Any thoughts?
