Question:

Al_ju_2000 a question about Aneurysm?

The heart doctor said I have an Aneurysm on my left upper heart chamber and he thinks it won't rupture as it is now, but should be watched, he said he can't be 100% sure of this though without a test they can do to determine the likelihood of it rupturing, if I have this test and it shows it may rupture, he would just put me on Cumitin,to prevent a stroke Would you have the test if it were you? Would you get a 2nd opinion? What would you do? He said the surgery to strenghen this Aneurysm is more risky then I am now. He gave me no medicine or any thing.,what do you think? I got the idea from him that I am more fortunate then someone who has an Aortic Aneurysm,true?I would like answers from others about this also. Anyone having knowledge about it.


Answers:

You are not more fortunate than someone with a AAA. This is serious. If it ruptures you will not survive. You need a second opinion. Small aneurysms are less likely to rupture, but they are easier to repair than larger ones. You need to weigh the risks and benefits of timing the surgery.
