How To Treat For Thinning Aortic Wall?
My father has just been diagnosed with thinning aortic wall, not an aneurism yet. What is the treatment? He is 79 with triple bypass, stents, urostomy (with bag), and bladder removed in hist history. His kidneys are also not functioning at full capacity. His potassium level had reached 6.1 (has been lowered since).

Hello,
Thanks for using HCM.I have gone though your query.
Basically thinning of Aortic wall is not that serious unless there is aneurysm and does not demand specific treatment.Only precaution needed is blood pressure control below 140/90.
My best wishes
