How fast do aneurysms typically grow?

I meant how fast does it grow

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

“An aneurysm usually grows slowly, around 1–2mm per year. Once it reaches a certain size, the risk of it rupturing (bursting) becomes too high and surgery is needed to repair it.” An aneurysm is usually classed as large once it reaches 5.5cm.

Get a cardiologist involved, This is a big deal to us
