Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. I believe you mean aortic sinuses aneurysms and the indication for operation of the aneurysms is the diameter of the sinus. If its 4.5 to 5 cm or more then definitely it needs surgery . Any size less than that needs supportive care, observation and frequent monitoring and control of blood pressure and other vital parameters.
Talk to your endovascular surgeon and let them decide what is best for you. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
