from what I have learned, on average it grows .2 to .4 a year. Given that some do not grow and others grow faster. I have a thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm that has grown from 3.0 (normal) to 4.7. It is checked every year.

When is surgery done to repair an aortic aneurysm?

According to the Mayo Clinic, surgery for an aortic aneurysm depends on where the aneurysm is and how fast it is growing. If it's a slow growing aneurysm, the doctor might choose to simply wait and see how the aneurysm is progressing as it might not require surgery at all. If it is a fast growing aneurysm, the doctor would prefer to plan a surgery in advance but will perform an emergency surgery if the aneurysm is in danger of bursting.
