Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
I'm a 76 year old female who had a 5.3cm
aortic
aneurysm
found last October during a CT scan for multiple Pulmonary Emboli. I've never been in hospital in my life and I'm so scared of open heart surgery, particularly at my age.

aortic
aneurysm
and bicuspid
aortic
valve . I am due to have elected planned surgery in Morriston south wales on April 20 and hope to report back after the operation.

Ascending aortic aneurysm diagnosis
I am a 54 year old woman who has had an incidental finding of a thoracic ascending
aortic
aneurysm
. I have been told it's 4.4cm and they will monitor with CT scans but that the size that an operation will be necessary is 5.5cm. The surgeon explained this involves open heart surgery.

non cardiac chest pain?
By the way I am advised that unless
aortic
aneurysm
is growing quickly ( no evidence to date it is) that it should be asymptomatic.

Have any of you been diagnosed with Loeys- Dietz Syndrome? My results came back in May 2022 TGFB3- syndrome 5.
I was tested my my rheumatologist due to Ehlers Danlos, multiple hernias beginning age 18 months, cervical instability, and my mother passed away from clotting complications ( anti phospholipid syndrome) and surgical complications post AAA (
aortic
abdominal
aneurysm
) repair/ graph surgery.

Hello
In April 2021 I was diagnosed with a severe
aortic
stenosis. I was also subsequently diagnosed with an
aortic
aneurysm
. After a lot of stress I was operated on in November 2021. I did not do well and ended up with a pacemaker.

Advice on Rosuvastain side effects and alternatives?
I am a 68 year old male and in 2020 I had OHS to replace a Bicuspid
Aortic
Valve and to repair an ascending
aortic
aneurysm
. My recovery has overall been very good and eventually I have settled into a stable medication regime.

anyone tried or recommended to use Secukinumab(cosentyx) for GCA?
These findings were a bit disturbing, as I developed a Thoracic
Aortic
Aneurysm
from GCA. Thus thought would reach out for any insight from this knowledgeable group.

dilated left ventricle informed over the phone (heart failure) 1 week ago
aprox a month ago I was sent for a echocardiogram to check my heart (routine every 5years ) as my father has a pacemaker since the age of 50 and 5years ago had an
aortic
aneurysm
. 5 years ago I had the same scan which was all clear.

Heart Rhythms
Strange one I had open heart surgery twice in 2019 for an Ascending
Aortic
Aneurysm
. Though as far as I know my heart was in good condition. I then had bouts of Afib following surgery. More recently I've had bouts of Tachycardia.
