I never thought to ask my insurance company for a list of in-network cardiovascular surgeons.
Usually they always gave me at least 3 names to choose from. If I don’t hear from my PCP I will resort to my insurance company. They are very accommodating as they would rather I fix it now than wait until it bursts because that could be a lot more expensive than putting a stent in (if I survive one). Don’t forget, it’s torn already.

When discovered my aneurysm measured 4cm. One year plus a few months after being released from the doctor’s care and told I should have yearly checks, I ended up in the ER with a dissecting aorta. I was life flighted to Mayo (2 hrs away) and had surgery for an emergency aortic dissection. Exactly what we all try to avoid. My family doctor was working on getting me an appointment because I was running into scheduling problems. My aneurysm was 4.5 at the time of my surgery. I was repaired with graphs in 3 places and a stent was inserted in one of the graphs also (descending). I had no health issues previously, non smoker, no high BP, no family history, nothing. Please keep searching for a hospital or doctor that will listen to you. Give you advice. Find someone you can trust. I’m one of the lucky ones. I could have the same thing happen tomorrow but until then, I walked 2 miles and biked 6 miles today. Over the 4th I boated with my grandkids, played on the Lilly pad and rode the jet ski❤️ Keep trying to find someone that will give you more info. Yes I am on once a year checks also but this time no scheduling problems. Best wishes.
