Aortic aneuryisms

Posted by alfred456 @alfred456, May 16 8:17am

I am finding it hard to not be anxious about living with a ATAA I know BP monitoring is vital and I am doing that frequently. The mental part is hard to control Is it going to grow if it does I'll be in my 80s and outcome isn't so favorable.... all these ifs and maybes I know research is being done to inhibit growth and hoping they do start to prescribe for Ascending as they are doing for abdominal aneurysms now Let's all try to be strong when living with this condition Any comments.. please .. thank you in advance

It would be helpful to know what ATAA means.

ATAA most likely means ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm.

@bolso1 It stands for Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm I believe.
