Aortic Aneurysms – Introduce yourself & meet others

Hello,
I had my Aortic Aneurysm repaired in 2005. Had follow-ups with the surgeon many times in the first year. Then I would do a CT every year. After that it was just follow-up with Cardiologist. I am going to assume you the Surgeon and Cardiologist are two different Doctors as was in my case. You should see your Cardiologist and set up a check-up plan that you are comfortable with. I had my Aortic Valve replaced this January. Had 2 follow ups with the Surgeon and shook hands. Just last month had my 6 month post-op follow up with Cardiologist. I'll see them again in 6 months. My Family (Primary Care) Doctor monitors my Blood Pressure, giving updates to the Cardiologist, I'm good with this. Hope this gives you some ideas.

All the best.

Thank you so much for this information. I will call my vascular surgeons office tomorrow. I know I will be less anixious about it if he gives me the reason why he didn't want to see me more. Now that I know someone else who had this done sees there surgeon I won't feel like I'm whining when I ask about it. Thanks again.
