@heather1976 Hi Heather, Thanks so much for the reply. I hope everything continues to go unchanged for you at the next scan. I've only recently found out about mine. I don't have an aortic, just one on my iliac artery which is measuring 20mm. I have to go back for an ultrasound scan in December so see if it is growing. There seems to be very little online about this doesn't there? They haven't said much how / why I have this. I have something called dolicho arteries (larger than normal arteries from what I understand) and they said I was probably born with this. Did you make any lifestyle changes over the last two years to keep it stable? It makes me nervous about exercising now and drinking coffee & alcohol etc.
