Hi there! I presently have a second dilation of the ascending aorta aneurism above the diaphragm it is 5cm in diameter. I already have a pre-existing aortic dissection that extends from my heart all the way down to femoral arteries. Part of the aorta has been replaced/repaired with Dacron back in 1996. I think I’m screwed as the surgeon doesn’t want to go to surgery so they doubled my blood pressure meds and suppose to be watching but with COVID everything has ground to a halt. I’m 52 female but I feel the outcome won’t be good but what I was wondering is I am having trouble swallowing food now and think it must be the pressure of the aneurysm on my esophagus ....does this seem plausible??
