Ok 2 fun facts about this:

1. My aorta that got replaced (by gortex) is now part of an international medical study for people who have extra large aneurysms that don’t dissect - my aorta was more than 8 standard deviations from the average πŸ˜…

2. I recovered completely narcotic-free because I grew up in the opiate epidemic and big pharma can go fuck themselves πŸ€™πŸ˜Ž

Root aneurysm? Do you mind if I ask what you were measuring at in mm pre surgery? How long did you know about the aneurysm before surgery?

Ascending arch. 52mm and it was slow growing so I knew about it for 20 years.
