Aortic Ascending Aneurism - Share Growth Rate

Great mines at 5 they won't fix it till 5.5 lovely process wait a watch like a Steven King Novel ...Alfred Hitchcock. presents Watch and wait, staring Brad Pitt , oh the horror

Man God bless ...you got this Suzan

Like I said, I have 4.5cm but I also have bicuspid valve which cause the aneurysm to begin with. Just don’t know how long it took to get to 4.5cm. Next scan is in June 2024 so we will see.
I saw and read studies where this can not grow at all and for some it grows 0.1mm a year and for some it grows 0.8mm a year!!
So most importantly, I am looking forward to see how much mine will grow with bicuspid valve if I maintain good cholesterol and maintain good BP.
Good luck.

Good that you are on top of it. Mine started at 4.1. I never had one. Same with the aneurysm in my brain. 4.8. Best of luck to you.

Thank you. I hope people can post on this thread about their experiences regarding Aneurysm growth if they have it for last years.

Especially people that might have bicuspid valve.

Thank you.

I would rather fix it then waste my time thinking about being a ticking time bomb walking around
I'm hiring a strippers so when I wake up from surgery and not know where I am , they can say , you're in heaven

Interesting, I also had a brain aneurysm and an ascending aortic aneurysm (found while getting leg fracture surgery) with bicuspid valve. Both are fixed, embolization to fix the brain one, open heart for the aortic. My heart surgery was at 5.2, the size it had when they found it. That was my surgeon’s recommendation, he never mentioned 5.5, he did say 5.0 and above are considered large. I could not wait to have it fixed, had the surgery as soon as appropriate after my leg surgery (3 months). Back to normal life, (that was 4 years ago) just monitoring the valve every year

Good one!

Oh were waiting till its 5.5 to fix , not out heart we don't care , great let me smoke some more cigs worrying about it . contemplate motality and all that bullshit . Life is short and them lovely sayings . Please don't play Dust In the wind in the operating room , You know while you guys are at it , Lets throw in a facelift to look like Brad Pitt

Why yes the Golden years , IRS and Heart surgery , We want you to turn into a Vegatarian , Get it done . Well like Paul Mccartney. Well the millions are missing to do that . No worrying , yes thats really doable . No lifting over 30 pounds , well thats good I'm lazy

My drs said the same thing with the size of the sending aortic aneurysm. They will take mine at 5. Glad you are doing well. Sounds like you have a great medical team.
