Experiences with

Aortic aneurysm

I have just been diagnosed with a 5.4cm abdominal aortic aneurysm. What are the implications of this?

I recently had a thoracic aortic aneurysm repaired and, while they were operating, they also replaced an apparently fully functioning bicuspid valve. Does that count as heart disease?

I had open heart surgery last year twice to repair a Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm. I'm on Dispersible Aspirin, Bisoprolol, Artovastatin, Losartan and Omneprazole. Now I've had lower back problems on and off for years and Diclofenac always solved it in a couple of days.

I've been told that, along with a repair for a thoracic aortic aneurysm, that my aortic valve needs replacing and the surgeon has strongly recommended that I go mechanical. Obviously this means a lifetime on blood thinners.

It will be open heart to repair my aortic aneurysm and valve sparing. If valve needs replacing then will have a mechanical valve. ... then my life begins again without fear of dissection. Happy Jo!

Having recently been diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, l would be interested to hear the experience of others who have had a similar diagnosis in the past.

I have suffered with migraines since a teenager and at 40 years old was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, another discovery on my blood result was high cholesterol 6.9 I am 50, a vegetarian, don’t drink alcohol and don’t smoke, my dad died of an aortic aneurysm so my question is, could there be a connection

I have an aortic aneurysm due to be repaired this year or next, and kidney problems right now would be an amazingly unfortunate complication.

I had open heart surgery 2 years ago for the removal of an aortic aneurysm. I'm taking the usual post heart op medication, as well as a Beta blocker and Apaxiban for slight irregular heart beats.

If anyone else has had a combination of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Bicuspid Aortic Valve (which I understand are related) or similar symptoms I'd be very interested to hear your experiences. Thanks for indulging my rambling. I started the day feeling pretty miserable but do feel better for it.
