Most Dr's recommend having surgery when your aorta gets to 5 cm. I am a very rare exception and didn't know I had a problem. When they caught my aneurism my aorta was at 7.2 cm. I have a brother and sister that also had surgery but they measured just over 5 cm.

What is inoperable ascending aortic aneurysm?

An inoperable ascending aortic aneurysm is a condition where the ascending portion of the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart, is enlarged and poses a risk of rupture or dissection, but cannot be surgically repaired due to various factors, such as the patient's overall health, age, or comorbidities. This type of aneurysm can lead to serious complications if left untreated, and management typically focuses on monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and medical therapy to control blood pressure and reduce strain on the aorta. Regular imaging and follow-up are essential for assessing its progression.
