Hi all,
53 m with a 52mm aortic root aneurysm. What have peoples surgeons said is the time to intervene with surgery? I came back negative for Marfan's etc. My surgeon suggested the lasted research suggests surgery at 50mm.

@perthmatt when mine was found it was 52mm and I was 54, so almost exactly your case, my surgeon recommended I had it fixed ASAP, I was in very good physical shape and the surgery would be very low risk, I had the surgery 2 months after
