Iam a 49 yr old male that have just found out that I have a ascending aortic
aneurysm 5.0 cm and a mild to moderate aortic valve that leaks.
1. My Dr stated that this is a difficult operation and Mayo is the only one
in the midwest that does this work, on a continuing basis, is this true?
2. When does a aneurysm normally repaired at 5.0 or 6.0?
3. What is the average size that a aneursym rupture?
4. What are the statictics, length of stay, and how long does it normally take
to get into the hospital for this type of operation.
5. Im scared and have many questions, my doctor has sent my record to Mayo
this past week I hope to hear soon from you.
Thank you
