I believe that having an aneurysm and not knowing about it is scary. Having one and knowing about it is a pain in the neck. Take your meds, don't lift heavy items, use common sense and it's manageable. My size is about the same as yours, I'm 4.7cm. Our risk is actually quite low, provided we do the right things.

Hello....your "low risk" view of a 4.7cm aneurysm, may be OK in layman's terms, but it depends on who is evaluating this and what your age, condition and history is. Viewed as a single measurement that may be calming is one thing, but keeping close watch, having excellent BP control, and managing lifestyle are high priority to keep things "low risk".
My 2 cents.
