Thank you for the information....I too was diagnosed with ARSA..at what point do you need surgery. No one can explain much to me .Would appreciate any information you have to share. Do you have chest pain or hypertension?

I have been told when/if you become symptomatic. Apparently people have ARSA and just by chance happen to find but unless it’s symptomatic or there is an aneurism it’s usually left alone. My symptoms are shortness of breath, dysphasia, choking on even small pills, some chest pain, etc. my ARSA has pushed into the back of my esophagus and is limiting my ability to eat and breath normally.
