Experiences with

Aneurysm

So yesterday got home to a letter from Neurovascular who had seen my scans for GCA and apparently now I have a small aneurysm in one of the arteries in my head but they are leaving it alone since the risk of intervention is higher than the risk of a bleed - anyone else have one ?

Hello, I've been diagnosed with iliac artery aneurysm (found in a scan for ongoing cancer treatment). Iliac artery aneurysm seems to be pretty rare and I've not found much information about it online.

Got the MRI 3rd of December and have just had the results which show an ascending aneurysm of 44mm, no further intervention and MRI in 12 months. I am so worried, how can this grow so fast and I have to wait another 12 months for a scan!

I had a full repair for my aneurysm in 2022 for which I have been discharged from hospital having taken 18months to fully recover. I am on Clopidogrel & Atorvastatin for life. I take one each of this medication taking them in the morning after my breakfast, and at a set time of 10.00am each day.

Just been diagnosed with an 16mm aneurysm of the left ventricular outflow tract indenting the right atrium. Have to wait till 2 Sept clinic to find out what happens next. I am 75. This is obviously rather worrying! Has anyone else had this problem.

After recent cardiac MRI diagnosed with aneurysm of left ventricular outflow tract. Waiting to hear what happens next! Don't know if I've always had it or recent appearance. Treated for ovarian ca 3 years ago, so lots of stress, maybe that caused it? I'm 75yrs old. Has anyone else had this?

recently been told i have Splenic Artery Aneurysm (SAA), (16mm) looking for any information/advice which could be helpful, thanks in advance

My question for her was how is that going to effect his decision on surgery or monitoring my aneurysm. She of course couldn’t answer. I am at my wits end here. At my appointment, I did ask the doctor what his thoughts were if it was his decision , and he said surgery.

Is this the norm no check ups for CAC or Aneurysm not making sense to me hopefully someone can advise

Hi all, your stories are an inspiration and I feel weak posting this but just want my mind put at rest. It was a shock to be told I have a TAA and have worried myself silly for 3 months. Have my first cardiology appointment next week. What can I expect?? Thanks for your replies, ps, I'm 74 and thought

Hi everyone, I haven’t posted anything for a while, just been reading and dropping the odd comment, but just to let everyone know today is my eight year survivors anniversary, the day my aneurysm ruptured and I suffered a brain haemorrhage.

Any test results that have the word aneurysm should at least get a phone call from the doctor right? I did do some research and found out that GCA and aneurysms go together, plus any hereditary traits can increase the risk of bursting. My sister died of an aneurysm when she was 44.

I have AF but have been in sinus for 18 months and also have an aneurysm that has been stable for 10 years. The echo has been requested as I occasionally get out of breath walking. Would like to hear of any experiences good or bad! Thank you so much

I was diagnosed with a thoracic aortic aneurysm ( acending and dissected desce ding) 2 years ago. I have since declined surgery and am now finding it impossible to access any sort of advice about managing my condition as well as what to expect in the future.

Well the doctor finally called me. Yes, I talked to the actual man himself! We discussed my options and came up with monitoring it every three months, which puts me in October. It has taken my doctors since early July to figure this out! While I’m not happy about that, I love this option. If it

Hello all, I've recently been diagnosed with a Thoracic Ascending Aneurysm of 3.9cm. I am 52 years old. Quit smoking in my 30's, normal bp. Slightly overweight.. need to lose about 10-15 lbs. Exercise is walking daily 30-40 min.

I posted a few months back about my cardiologist finding 2 aneurysms on my yearly CT scan. He sent me to a Cardio/Thoracic surgeon for a second opinion and more testing. At my preop appointment today for my open heart surgery scheduled at the end of this month, they found that neither aneurysms had

Has anyone had treatment for a 3mm unruptured aneurysm

hello, I’m on clopidogrel and aspirin third week post my op (I have aneurysm secured by stent)and as I was warned I’m bruising a lot but also have severe pain inside my arms ,at times. It might sound a bit weird, but it’s like my bones rotted inside. Is anyone heard something similar?

Hi all, I had a SAH/bleed on the brain/ruptured Aneurysm on my birthday in April during Covid. I know, what are the odds! Anyway, they found another Aneurysm but smaller than the one that ruptured.
