I have the same type of aortic aneurysm as my dad and he has had his for more than 45 years. So yes it can go long term with no problem. Mine went from a 4.3 to 4.7 in four months or so. Next measuring is two weeks. Here’s hoping. Don’t let it rule your life. Live each day to the best you can be.

Thank you for your comment. Are you speaking of an abdominal aortic aneurysm?

Thank you for sharing this about you and your dad ! I just found out I have an aortic aneurysm it’s 4.1 cm I’m beyond scared . I will be seeing a thoracic surgeon in a few weeks for a consult . My primary said the likelihood is they will leave it alone for now and monitor . It was found accidentally while having a calcium score test this week . My dad died of one but don’t know he had one . I’m trying very hard to not let it overtake my thoughts , it’s very hard . Thanks for sharing your experience
