5-5.5cm: It depends on your specific circumstances, but that's usually the answer. Here are the official societal guidelines. See page e320. http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/121/13/e266.full.pdf+html.

At around 5cm: It needs to be followed up with ultrasound every 6 months. When it grows too fast or has reached 5cm then it needs to be considered for repair
