PS: I also have a bicuspid valve which will have to be replaced at some point in the next 10 years, now that the aneurysm is fixed that can happen with a catheter. I see my cardiologist annually to check the valve, so far still working well

I really appreciate your response. I have my cardiologist appt on 1/18 where I will ask bunch of questions. He is very good and supportive.
I am just wondering as how long will it take for my 4.5cm to grow to 5.5cm? Especially with bicupsid valve.
My BP remains 125/83 and overall healthy with daily workout. I used to do 1 hour full cardio at 170 heart beat and I slowed that to 136max heartbeat and stop lifting weights as well.
They are going to do my 22 year old son ECO Cardio next week to verify if he has bicuspid valve due to genetics or not.
Where did you did your surgery?
Again, I appreciate you took time to provide your experience and providing me with much needed comfort.
