Thoracic aortic aneurysm: Anyone had surgery?

My mother passed away at the age of 37 of a sudden Thoracic aortic aneurysm. Otherwise I'm good health. My question is 'Has anyone else had anything like this happen in their family and what, if any warning signs are, and how to catch one early.

It would be best if you saw a cardiologist and be confident that your situation can be handled safely. I have had a aortic aneurysm and the surgery for repair. I felt so confident of my thoracic surgeons ability I never even considered there would be any problems. And there were not! That was a year ago and I'm doing just fine at 79 years old. You will be fine also and you have youth on your side, so it will be even a faster recovery for you. So make your appointment and go forward with experts. I had mine at Mayo in Rochester, Mn by Dr. A. Pochettino, he is Mr. Wonderful!
