@trrunalot being an ascending aortic aneurysm, they say they can repair it endovascularly? Until now the only effective method has been through open heart surgery, if they say they can let us know a lot of people in this forum would be interested.

I have a bicuspid aortic valve and had a 5.2 cm aneurysm, my surgeon told me they would not do a valve replacement with the aneurysm there as there are risks of rupture while running the catheter. I had OH to repair my aneurysm but the valve was left in place as it showed almost no stenosis and was working well, it will need replacement at some point but now that my aneurysm is repaired the valve can be replaced endovascularly

@houston13 no, they recommend open heart surgery to do both the valve and replace the as ascending aorta.
