@houston13 Thank you for the reply. I have a great neurosurgeon who performed my craniotomy and will see the cardiologist in two weeks. It sounds like there is a relationship, maybe vascular issues affecting the arteries and link between the two. I appreciate you sharing your story.

@organizedchaos04 I had my cardiologist appointment yesterday. She said that there is no relationship between brain and aortic aneurysm. She said my aortic aneurysm is too small at 4.1 cm to even monitor. My research tells me otherwise. I am going to take your advice and try to find someone who specializes in this area as I suspect she doesnt have the right experience. Thanks again.

@organizedchaos04 i agree about vascular issues affecting the two. My husband and a maternal first cousin (same ave exactly) both had mid level aortic ascending aneurysm. The cousin who was a weight lifter and heavy exerciser had a dissection. He also now has a descending aortic aneurysm and two abdominal aneurysms.
His dad had an aneurysm rupture - not know where but it was in his thoracic cavity.
My husband’s mother had giant cell arteritis and died from a second hemorrhagic brain stroke.
