Dilation of the ascending aorta

Posted by JDFIII @jdfiii, Mar 26 2:36pm

Has anyone visited the Mayo for an evaluation of an ascending aorta? I found out yesterday mine measures 4.2 cm in diameter.
I hope I posted this to the correct area. I am new to this.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aortic Aneurysms Support Group.

I, too, live in your area, but those hospitals you are asking about aren’t on the top ten list. They are great hospitals! However, I can’t find any info indicating ascending aortic aneurysm specialists. Post if you see updates info that indicates otherwise.

I will let you know. I think there is one Dr at INOVA who is participating in the trial for less invasive treatment of ascending aortic aneurism. .
