Seeing my cardiologist last week, he advised me that I now have a new concern which could have stemmed from the valve, in that my Aorta has become enlarged over the past
coupe of years, last May measuring 4.9cm, and last week 5.2cm. He told me that surgery can be discussed when it reaches 5.5cm, and immediate surgery will occur when it gets to 6.0cm. I have read elsewhere that it is recommended that immediate replacement occur when it gets to between 4.5 and 5.0cm.
