A member asked:

Is a 3.8 cm ectasia of the descending aorta anything to be concerned about for a 50 year old male?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Depending on your body surface area, it may even be normal for your size. If there is any family hx of aneurysms or if you smoke (or used to smoke), you should have the study repeated in a year to confirm stability.
