Yeh I am 57 and they found BAV with a bonus, 4.8cm ascending aortic aneurysm 9 months ago. First echocardio measured 5 then CT measured 4.8, 2 months later just this February, CT was at 4.95. I have not clue which is correct. No one has taken the time to meet me and explain how they measure. Next to impossible to get support here from cardiologist. to busy I guess. I live in Canada. So answers, I need to guess and research myself and read things here in the discussion. Honestly, I would have rather not known about this TAA. Its hard going from great shape, working out eating well etc.... to lets be careful. Anyway it is what it is. I wish everybody all the best. Stay strong.

Just from experience, I think a BAV is Bicuspid valve right? When you get that repaired make sure they repair the aneurysm! They didn't for husband 20 yrs ago and now recommendations are to do 2nd open heart to fix aneurysm. They do it routinely with BAV at Mayo now. Mayo always has time! It's worth your travel in our experience. Good luck
