My husband was just diagnosed with a TAA 5.6 and his surgeon said he is an extremely high risk for surgery.
Because of the calcium build up in his Aortic vein. That they may not be able to repair it. And that his chances of death during surgery are extremely high. How do you just except this kind of new. So i think we should seek a second opinion.
What are symptoms of a rupture.

Definitely get a 2nd opinion at a high volume facility. I would recommend trying to get consultation with Jack Haney in Jacksonville.
