Hoy me enteré de que tengo un aneurisma de la aorta ascendente y no tengo idea de lo grave que es ni cómo lo arreglan. ¿Alguien puede ayudarme?
You are not alone. Many of us here have it too.
It is a scary and serious condition. That's a fact. But, once you allow yourself time to accept it and learn about it, it gets easier to continue with your life.
Did they tell you the size?
Hi Robin,
I was diagnosed with the sand in mid-July. Mine measures 5.3cm. My husband and I are in the midst of building a home in a rural area and I didn't want to make that move knowing that I'd never make it to a hospital if o suffered a rupture. I learned that females are often considered a candidate for surgery at 5.0cm. Also, I've been having intermittent mild pains in my left chest, which are impossible to ignore, although my surgeon doesn't think they are the aneurysm. They keep me almost constantly on edge. For these reasons, I'm having an angiogram on Monday and surgery on October 9th. I have mild aortic valve regurgitation as well, which hopefully might resolve once the tension on the valve from my aorta is released. I hadn't read any forums until tonight...I'm looking for information on what to expect after surgery.
Hello Robin,
I had AAA open surgery in May. I found out I had an aneurysm about 6 weeks before that. During a routine physical my family doctor suspected an aneurysm. After it was confirmed with a sonogram , he referred me to vascular surgeon. Meeting with the surgeon is when I stated getting answers on seriousness, treatments, etc.
Have you met with a surgeon?
Hola Robin
No estás definitivamente solo. Descubrí que tenía un aneurisma de 4.9 cm hace poco más de 9 meses. Tomé la decisión de repararlo. Se hizo mediante cirugía a corazón abierto y ahora me siento genial. La recuperación no fue rápida, pero necesitaba la tranquilidad, por eso opté por eliminarlo. La mayoría de los cirujanos dicen que hay que esperar hasta que supere los 5.0 cm.
¿Tu médico dijo qué tamaño tiene el aneurisma?
¡Hola Robin! Quiero animarte diciéndote que mi esposo es sobreviviente de dos aneurismas de la aorta ascendente. El primero de AAA en realidad se rompió y tuvo que ser reemplazada la válvula aórtica con una de titanio, hace mucho tiempo, en 1990. La segunda cirugía fue en 2012 y fue mucho más segura y fácil de recuperar. Ahora tiene 63 años y está sano y feliz. ¡Bendiciones y sanidad para ti!
Wifey2Mikey, this is so great to hear. I get depressed about my AAA a LOT but stories like yours keep me going. Glad your husband is doing so well. That's awesome!
Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👏🏼❤️
Cualquiera de nosotros estará encantado de hablar contigo sobre ello.
