What questions should I ask my doctor if I have an ascending aortic aneurysm?

If you’ve been diagnosed with an ATAA, consider asking your doctor the following questions:

  • How big is the aneurysm?
  • How can I reduce my risk of an aneurysm rupture?
  • Is the aneurysm getting larger? If so, how quickly is it growing?
  • What are the chances that the aneurysm will rupture?
  • Will I need surgery for the aneurysm?
  • What are the risks of aneurysm repair surgery?
