Hi, I have a 4.5 AAA and am 75 years old. I've been researching doctors at the Cleveland Clinic as well as Mayo in Scottsdale. I live in Phoenix as well. My cardiologist is with HonorHealth but if and when I need some attention other than watch and see, I will be going to Mayo. June
@perkman66 I think you are worrying too much about this aneurysm. (I know, the diagnosis is absolutely shocking!) Don't look for a surgeon but do find a well regarded cardio MD to monitor the size of the aneurysm. The cardio will keep an eye on how fast the aneurysm is growing, if at all, and will advise you if you need to find a surgeon and will probably have some good recommendations as to whom to see. Unless your aneurysm is quite unusual in the rate of growth, you may never need to find a surgeon.
