What are a large blood vessels in chest area?

[Numberone1]

I’m currently under Kings as have to have aortic valve replaced. Numerous tests and scans have been undertaken.

I went to A and E because of a strange symptom that turned out to be anxiety ( not surprising) ?. However summoned by GP bcos he was told by A and E as a follow up that the chest x ray showed “large blood vessels in centre of chest” It recommended I had a ct scan. My Gp is not atall worried as the X-ray people don’t know my history. Equally he said after the number of investigations I’ve already had, this can’t be anything.

But what are large blood vessels in middle of chest area?

Any suggestions welcome.

Hello

I think but not 100% sure,

I had the LIMA used for one of my CABG it's an artery in your chest that you don't need !! That sounds strange but that's how it was described to me.

best regards
