Hi @kimspr3, that you for sharing your mother's success. To answer you question, according to the link below from Mayo Clinic, abdominal aortic aneurysms can be hereditary.

Have you talked to your doctor about this?

Hello Ethan, Thank You, I will be seeing a Gastroenterologist Mon. the 8th. Thank you for the Mayo site. Now I'll be a little more educated to ask questions.

My mothers Dr's told me it is Hereditary. I'm checked, so far so good.
