Hi Lynette, You have had many different tests with different results and I do understand how that can be so frightening. I think you need to see a specialist -- probably a well regarded cardiologist or cardiovascular surgeon to review and sort all these reports and put things in perspective for you. Different tests show results from different angles and the numbers will therefore be different. Also, different technicians and radiologists can read tests differently. A cardiologist can assess the reports and give you the information you need.

This surgery is quite serious and I doubt a surgeon will recommend it before you actually need it and part of that determination is how big it is and how fast it is growing. I would not depend on my primary MD to assess these reports for you. Such an assessment and discussion might put your fears to rest as the aneurysm might be quite stable and down in the low 4. range which is a long way from needing surgery.

I wish you well and that you find the information which will bring you peace.

Donna
