Dear patient,

Thanks for the query. From your options, I would try to look for a physician with experience in Vascular Disease, and also experience in Echocardiography, or ultrasound of the heart, which is the safest, most common way to follow aneurysms; you do not specify location of the aneurysm, if it is 5 cm and located in ascending portion elective surgery can be considered, if it is abdominal and 5 cm it could be monitored until 5.5 cm.


Hope this helps, wish you the best,

Dr Brenes-Salazar MD
