Hi and thanks for using the forum.

I can't really tell you if your heart attack was related to your aorta condition- this is a question you should try asking the cardiologist who treated you for your heart attack.   I can empathize with your situation- it is definitely frustrating to be ready for your surgery and to have to "jump through hoops" so to speak to get it.   When you do finally get the green light for your surgery, you will probably have to be cleared by a cardiologist since the surgery most likely requires general anasthesia.  You might want to discuss this with the cardiologist sooner rather than later to prevent your surgery being put off even longer.  Good Luck.
