Second Aortic Aneurysm Found – 7cm Only a Year After Surgery of 6.4cm

Hi everyone,
I’m posting here hoping to find someone with a similar experience or any advice.

My little brother had surgery last year for a 6.4cm aortic aneurysm. We thought we were finally on the path to recovery. But now, just one year later, we found another aneurysm —it was no size first but it’s already 7cm when we check again after 3months. What’s really shocking is that this one grew from nothing to 7cm in just 3 months. It wasn’t visible or measurable in his last scan, and now it’s already at a dangerous size. We’re trying to stay strong, but it’s honestly overwhelming.

Has anyone else experienced a second large aneurysm so soon after the first? Especially one that grew so quickly?

Any insight, advice, or just shared experiences would mean a lot. Thank you.
