@coastalguy26 it’s great that you’re seeing a surgeon and getting second opinions, it’s important to build a relationship and plan who you would have surgery with. But again those are surgeons not cardiologists, I also saw a cardiothoracic surgeon first as my aneurysm was fairly large when found, he then referred me to a cardiologist (who is an aortic disease specialist) to start monitoring and follow up after surgery. The surgeon who was awesome saw me once after I left the hospital and never again, the cardiologist sees me every year. Every ~4 years he orders full aortic scans to ensure no other aneurysms are appearing.
