Descending aortic aneurysm

My wife has a 4.7 cm aneurysm, awaiting a CAT scan a Yale-New Haven Hospital.  Woould like to know best surgeons and hospitals in U.S. for treatment.  Doctor at Yale has said it will require open chest surgery due to its location.

Yale-New Haven is a good hospital.  You should not have to travel further.  Your wife may have had her surgery by now, so perhaps the choice of surgeon is moot, but Dr. Elefteriades is very prominent in the field of aortic surgery.  I'm sure there are other excellent surgeons there as well, including residents and fellows who are in training with him.  Best wishes, and please re-post to let us know how your wife is doing.
