Can Nicotine Patch Be Used When Suffering From Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm?
I have been diagnosed with a thoracic aortic aneurysm. I have been on the nicotine patch for the last two weeks. Should I be using the patch or can it affect the aneurysm. I have had an MRI last week but have not found out the results, but from a CT scan, it looks like it is 4 centimeters.
