What Could A 3.4 Aortic Aneurysm Suggest?
I was diagnosed with a 3.4 arotic aneurysm in January of this year. I realize that is relatively small, however, six months ago I had a CT scan with contrast and there was no mention of aneurysm. So is that size any thing to be concerned about in six months time, or do they start about that size.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
A 3.4 mm aortic aneurysm is very small. So, no need to worry much about this.
Actually, aortic aneurysm starts with this much small size only. But this can be increased in size if cardiovascular risk factors are present.
So regularly consult your doctor for blood pressure monitoring, diabetes, and lipid profile checkup. Avoid excess salt in the diet. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
