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?

Hi Ann
I’m not sure if that makes it more dangerous. I guess I would go with your Cardiologist’s advice. Surgery is usually not considered until if and when it reaches 5.0
