Thanks @chrisn61 very helpful.
Yes, familiar or genetic indeed. Waiting to hear back from Cleveland, but have made contact with Penn, who asked me to schedule an Echo, to accompany the CTAngiogram already received, before more guidance can be given.
So far, of 9 siblings, 2 have had surgeries on their AAs in the last 2 yrs, 4 others with recent CTs showing 4.2- 5.0 (100% of those scaned), and the other 3 siblings having received clear ECHOs a while back, being told they now need to go get a CTAngiogram to be sure.
Hard to believe it's this prevalent in a family.
All the best,
