A member asked:
My mother has an aortic aneurism. she is 74 years old. is it safe for her to fly roundtrip from charlotte, nc to orlando, fl?

What size?: The sense of gravity regarding aortic aneurysms really lies in their size. Larger aneurysms are more unstable and may be prone to rupture in the short term, which would prohibit being so removed from medical attention. Unless it's a really small aneurysm, I'd be concerned about the flight.
