Has anyone reduced an ascending aneurysm? How if so ?

Has anyone actually seen an ascending aortic aneurysm shrink? If so, how? I’m curious because there isn’t much reliable information online, though I did come across a few articles mentioning that fasting showed some reduction in clinical trials.

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

To be candid, there aren't any ways to shrink an aneurysm. There is/are weak spot(s) in the ascending aorta that allows the artery to bulge. If it gets to a certain point, it has to be repaired or it fails. Been there done that. I am also dealing with an aortic aneurysm in the remaining ascending aorta between the dacron graft and aortic arch. The native part is around 4.6cm as off 28Aug2025.
