Merits monitoring.: Monitoring of an aortic aneurysm entails a history and physical exam with special attention to blood pressure control, echocardiography to image the ascending aortic dimension and ct scan of the aorta, preferably to perform volumetric assessment of aortic dimensions with yearly comparisons to determine whether or not the aneurysm is enlarging. Some cardiovascular surgeons specialize in this.

CT or sono: The best way to detect if an aneurysm is growing is with a sonogram or a cat scan. If you have any pains related to your aneurysm you should seek urgent medical care
