I couldn’t have blood thinners because I have an ascending
aortic
aneurysm
. The negative result suggested it’s not a blood clot but GP did not give me an idea what might be the cause. My right knee has now become swollen as well and feels quite tight. Any idea? Cheers

Just been told I’ve got

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.

Waiting for surgery
They have scanned me on an annual basis and the last 3 years they have been concerned about an
aortic
aneurysm
developing. It started at 46mm 3 years ago last February it had grown to 51mm. I was told I will need an aortic root replacement surgery.

Diagnosed 4 months ago with
aortic
aneurysm
in the ascending aorta of 4.9cm and dilated
aortic
root of I think 4.4 but I bit less sure of that last diameter. Presumed caused by BAV that currently exhibits 20 per cent regurgitation. Anyway the question is….

Tapering, back-update etc.
Thankfully, he was being monitored for a lung infection when they found an ascending
aortic
aneurysm
that doubled in size in six months. His most recent scan a week ago revealed this. They'll be replacing the valve to the heart as well.

Hi, this is my first post on here I am a 73-year old male, I have an Abdominal
Aortic
Aneurysm
and unfortunately, it is too dangerous to have an operation, the last check it was 6cm so basically once it ruptures I will die.

A strange one I had OHS 2 years ago for a Thoracic Ascending
Aortic
Aneurysm
at the root. Had AFIB and Tachycardia in the following months. But no real issues since on the heart side. Have spent the last 2 weekend in hospital after a Cranial CSF Leak repair.
