Hi!! I did have hypertension, but I also have bicuspid aorta and some other cardiac issues- which contribute to that. I have never had chest pain. I was told normally surgery is not recommended unless you have an aneurysm (Kommerells ) and only when that reaches a certain size. I did have mine relocated because I had to have an aortic graft which was where my ARSA was- due to my coarctation. It was done through my neck by Dr.Bower a vascular surgeon. I have done well- no restrictions. It’s not a common issue- I suggest making sure you find a dr experienced with treating it.
Especially because everyone is different and treatment should be decided on your specific case. There is some information on the Mayo website.
Best wishes!
