[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7550799, member: 54866"] Not uncommon but as with most things this is something that comes in a range of sizes. It is true that some need prompt attention but many are nothing like as extreme. The aorta is a complex beast and copes with the pulse from your heart day in and day out so it is ok to put some faith in it. I don't know as I've never investigated it but I suspect there may be some patients who have theirs repaired using endovascular techniques, i.e catheter is used to place a stent with the entry point being one of the blood vessels in your leg. If they can stent the coronary arteries in your heart this way then I can't see why an aorta couldn't be done similarly. Point is it would be a much quicker and far simpler procedure. [/QUOTE]
