Answer 1

Go to webmd type in aorta aneurysm read. Then type in aortic stenosis...Stenosis is a hardening condition of the aortic artery or hardening of the artery...There is controversay about the medicated stents so have your cardiologist explain about using it. Right now the pros and cons of the medicated stent is pro for use. Doctors make informed decisions so just get together a list of questions for him and ask...Good Luck

Answer 2

Wow, you are very young to be having this problem. Do you happen to have a bicuspid aortic valve? Marfans syndrome?

Sorry to hear about your medical problems. I know that our cardivacular physicians operate on the aortic aneneurysm when they measure 5mm so I'd get it taken care of fairly soon. Best of luck!
