A member asked:
Is surgery recommended for a 63 yr old male, who has a thoratic aneurysm that measures 4, without a change in 5 yrs.?

Discuss with your Dr: Surgery for thoracic aneurysm is complex and multiple factors would need to be considered prior to surgery.

Not usually: If no symptoms, no valve leakage, smaller than 5.5 and no enlargement the risks exceed the benefit . Keep, the followup.
