Hi,
@catwoman07 , I too just got to the 4.0 , 4.1 cm ascending aortic aneurysm. Glad you are an RN and live near main Mayo.
I work w Jax. Mayo, but live in SC. As it has grown since 2019 identified at 3.7.
6 month monitoring and I have not heard of stent process.
I try to keep Blood pressure normal and BMI is good. It’s frightening not to live closer to experts.
Is there a you tube on stenting ?

Hi. Thanks for your questions. Unfortunately alive in Michigan and pay to travel to go to Mayo in Rochester. The name of the procedure is TEVAR, and is being done at a number of hospitals. I tried to copy a video link, but the down wouldn't attach. Just Google TEVAR procedure. Good luck
