Luckily I am in a city with excellent medical and surgical care for aortic aneurysms and don't need to travel for care. It makes it easier for me to get checked every 6 months 😁.

A couple more things I remembered that you might find helpful.

My cardiac surgeon sent me for genetic testing to see if my aneurysm was inherited as it affects type of care and standard for when to do surgery.

You may want to keep up with the latest guidelines for care. There were new guidelines that came out last Fall that make 5cm the new recommendation for surgery. https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2022.10.001?_ga=2.203056277.584368302.1681477286-927612621.1681477286
