One renown surgeon at a high volume hospital told my husband and me that my husband should absolutely have his 4.8 cm ascending aortic aneurysm repaired now.
well the wiser surgeon said probably fix it at 5.5
so we keep going in circles on when to fix it , Which every one is saying 5.5
I'm sure in June when new Ct scan is done , I'll start asking more questions
Like are VA Palo Alto Health Care better on surgerys than San Fran ?
There something to do with Stanford surgeons I guess

Here is a website with data available to consumers. It is the Society for Thoracic Surgeons data base. While this does not talk about aortic aneurysms you can do some comparisons here for your California centers.
