I would be getting a second opinion from an expert at a high volume facility that specializes in ascending aortic aneurysms and aortic root aneurysms, PDQ. 6 is well beyond the typical surgery threshold. The other thing that sometimes gets overlooked is people may have other undetected issues such as an occluded LAD or aneurysm on RCA.

@rlhix Thanks for the info. Next year, I'm getting a CTA scan for LAD report says my heart function (LVEF 65%) and wall motion are normal. This is a very strong sign that your LAD is providing enough blood to the heart muscle

Addition to what you’ve already read please read the American Heart Association guidelines regarding thoracic aortic aneurysm

@rlhix Sometime back there was a post with a video from a really sharp Cardiologist on this topic . He was pretty liberal about how far you could push yourself, which was more than I expected. I will try to find that link and post here how to get it.
