Thank-you Carolyn, I'm so glad your husband has been diagnosed and is being treated which seems to be the key. |

Thank you all for your replies. Kevan had a triple heart bypass 11 years ago and is doing great. We no longer live in the uk and it was during one of his frequent check ups here in France for his heart that this problem showed up. I am grateful that we dont live in uk anymore as in the 6 years after his op in England he was never given any follow up appointments after his 6 week post op check. He does have a brilliant cardiologist and cardio vascular surgeon so I am sure that he will be ok. I think I just needed reassurance from the good people on here. |

Only have experience as a nurse, and can only agree with Jane, in saying that having surgery for this as a planned procedure is of course safer. It seems that your husband is being carefully monitored, so just go with surgeons advice. |

I'm sorry Carolyn... I can't offer any advice all I can tell you is a friends husband had an operation a year ago and is doing absolutely fine. It took him a few months to get 100% fighting fit again but he is doing great. |

If it has grown and he does need surgery it should not be a problem because it can be done in a planned way. The real problem with aneurysms is when they are undiagnosed and they begin leaking, that is an emergency and the patient will not be in such a good physical condition to start with so the potential for problems with surgery increase. |

Does anyone have the experience of a loved one with this problem? My husband was diagnosed last year and has six monthly check ups, the next one due on 30th June and I am very concerned that it will have got bigger and need surgery sooner rather than later. |
