A dilated aorta, or aortic dilation, occurs when the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart, becomes enlarged. This condition can increase the risk of serious complications, such as aortic aneurysm or dissection. It is important to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, appropriate diagnostic imaging, and management options tailored to your specific situation. Early intervention can be crucial in preventing potential complications.

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.
