@jdssunflower Hi, you should consult with a very experienced surgeon, I’ve read that in certain cases depending on the anatomy, exact location, health of the patient, etc a TEVAR could be used or a hybrid process that may be easier on high risk patients, but the options are specific to each patient. An experienced cardiothoracic team in a major hospital should be able to assess your options

Thank you. Im still waiting for a CTA in 6wks. Then will have to find a good thoracic surgeon.
Im having a problem with me BP being high every morning. Usually 185/92. I take Losartan 50mg at bedtime and 50mg in am. It does go down in daytime to 135/83. Just wonder if Amlodipine would keep it down overnight?

Not on the aortic arch to the root. The root stuff is highly experimental.
